Through the Looking Glass Book Reviews: Grain Food Foundation

Welcome!

Dear Book Lovers, Welcome! I am delighted that you have found The Through the Looking Glass blog. For over twenty years I reviewed children's literature titles for my online journal, which came out six times a year. Every book review written for that publication can be found on the Through the Looking Glass website (the link is below). I am now moving in a different direction, though the columns that I write are still book-centric. Instead of writing reviews, I'm offering you columns on topics that have been inspired by wonderful books that I have read. I tell you about the books in question, and describe how they have have impacted me. This may sound peculiar to some of you, but the books that I tend to choose are ones that resonate with me on some level. Therefore, when I read the last page and close the covers, I am not quite the same person that I was when first I started reading the book. The shift in my perspective might be miniscule, but it is still there. The books I am looking are both about adult and children's titles. Some of the children's titles will appeal to adults, while others will not. Some of the adult titles will appeal to younger readers, particularly those who are eager to expand their horizons.

Help Feed America

Most of us know, and are horrified by, the fact that thousands of Americans go hungry every day. Now you can do something to help. Put on your creative caps and go to the Bread Art Project website. The Bread Art Project was created by the Grain Foods Foundation to help increase awareness of the growing hunger problem in the United States." The Foundation is donating $50,000 to Feeding America. Every time a member of public creates a work of Bread Art on the Bread Art Project website the Foundation will donate another $1. Visit the online galleries and create your unique bread art for this worthy cause. You can see my bread art effort on the right.
