Let me give a plug for the All Iowa Reads book for 2009. I have just begun reading The Rope Walk by Carrie Brown. From Publishers Weekly: The Rope Walk sets themes of tolerance and understanding in a picture-postcard setting. In a Vermont town, where a description of the local library racks up a dozen adjectives (including "tall," "bracing," "rippling," "silvery" and "delicious"), children collect butterflies and recite "Hiawatha."
Speaking of delicious, this is a book to be savored. I have found myself becoming immersed again in the enthusiasm and wonder that is childhood.
You are invited to join readers across Iowa in reading and talking about the 2009 All Iowa Reads book. Find out more by calling the library or going to the Iowa Center for the Book website at
