Cici,
Do you want to send the info in?..."
Hey team! I'm sorry for the brief radio silence, I was riding on train out west without any internet access.
I did just sign us up for a team, so we'll be getting our thread shortly. I signed us up for the first level based on what we previously said we'd read in two weeks, but we can change it if we feel differently.
My name ideas... Mount Booksuvius...
I'm also going to be sending you all a friend request :)

Day 1: Start - Halloween1. Did you have any preconceived ideas about this book before you started, what where they?
I’ve seen this book around at the library, bookstores & blogs, but never really knew what it was about. I’m borrowing my current copy from my sister who said it was a great story. I’m ready to dive right in!
2. Rosie shares with us the continued pursuit of having a daughter and possibly having a version of her little sister Poppy in that daughter, what was your reaction to that?
If the child was going to be a girl, I feel a little sorry for that little babe. It’s seems that Rosie wants her sister to reincarnate instead of allowing her own child to be an individual. I think it’s a beautiful sentiment to name her daughter after Poppy, but she will never replace the void of a sister.
3. What do you think of Rosie and Penn's parenting style so far?
I think they are very loving parents. Just a few chapters in, I’m not sure I have a great read on their parent style, so I might come back to this question. It feels like they just let their lives go on without a lot of guidance.
4. I'm loving grandma, she doesn't even blink twice when Claude wants a bikini; what do you think would help Claude most, letting him wear bikini and dress in public or restricting him to only wear those at home?
Amen for Grandma Carmy. Her reaction to Claude is the exact opposite of what her grandparents would have done. This character represents the movement of change & tolerance of differences I hope to see in our future generations.
5. It breaks my heart when Penn shows Rosie the drawings Claude has made of the family, where he is getting smaller with every drawing. What should they do?
I’m neither a Mother nor medical professional, but I think it would be important to sit with Claude & discuss his drawings. I think it’s important for him to voice how he feels & why he represents himself that way in the drawings. It’s clear that Claude values his appearance & there’s a correlation with how he draws himself.
