This one was probably too philosophical to me. I liked Mira but I felt like I was looking at her life through a telescope, where I was able to see what was happening, but it felt really far away. I'm sure this is a book for some people, but it wasn't really for me.

This book made me want turn into a leaf and have some processing time. It is written more like a poem. I loved the metaphors of bear, bird, and fish.

The first part of this book delighted me so thoroughly that I kept reading passages aloud to whoever was around but to be honest I... couldn't make it through the tree part. Anyone else find this?
