HI Achievers- Miss Megan

"Fine" isn't the ceiling.

I'm seeing more and more parents come to me not because their child is behind — but because they know their kid has more in them and no one at school is drawing it out.

And a lot of times, it is not the teacher's fault. Often times the behavior problems leave little time to devote to the good kids. The good kids are often the most overlooked kids in the room. I've seen this time and time again.

That's who I show up for too.

💬 Drop a ❤️ if this sounds like your child.

How pretty is this cover? 💮🌸 And there's a small calico in the crosswalk🐈 that cat is Kobako. Kobako and Sakura operate the Cherry Blossom Bookshop. This bookshop only appears during the spring, the cherry blossom season. When the character reads the exact same passage as Sakura, they are transported to the magical bookshop to experience another point of view of a moment in their life of immense sadness to help bring comfort.

There were things I liked and things I didn't. I loved how we followed different stories of sadness, grief and loss that were able to transform. The magic of the bookshop is that it allowed people to go back to certain moments to find a different point of view or experience moments to find clarity and comfort. It was so heavy with sadness and loss. The best story was the old man. And the cherry tree was described in such a way that I wanted this to be a real place to visit. Just seems so ethereal.

But the healing was a bit vague. It was really like a *snap* magical healing. Also, Sakura was kind of mean. Just the way she spoke in general. It just didn't fit with the rest of the story. I don't know if this was a translation problem. And there were no books sold in the bookshop. It maybe could've been a cafe more. Or maybe book club.

My cat must know I'm writing this review right now because Bentley never sits on my lap. Kobako was maybe the best thing about this story lol In Japanese, "kobako" is the term used for a cat loaf. Kobako is an incense box and the term compares the cat shape to sitting in a rectangular incense box.

What book do you wish someone had put in your hands when you were younger?

Go out and make today amazing 💜
