This book is absolutely a wonderful love story to America. It's an illustrated journey about some of the wonderful places and people that have helped to make this country. Really, just pick this book up!

Do you know Maira Kalman?
I like her writing.
This week I only finished one book, but it was a good one. And the Pursuit of Happiness by Maira Kalman.
I often check out books from the library, read them, and return them. Even when I buy books, I usually give them away.
I buy Maira Kalman books and keep them. I read them and then I read them again.
She writes children's picture books as well as grownup books. Honestly, her books for grownups are really just grownup picture books.
A new genre, maybe.
I hope this is okay, but I can't really show you how wonderful Maira Kalman is without showing you a few pages from her books.
Do you see what I mean?
I saw Maira Kalman at the Texas Book Festival. I would have been very sad if I had not gotten to hear her speak. She was not as I'd imagined. I'd expected a morose person. No. She actually laughed a lot. And told funny stories.
She seemed quite wise.
"Reality was never part of our household," she said.

Devoured this in a day - loved the art work, loved the way the words made me think. Very well done.

About a version of America that really doesn't hold up for me, but beautiful drawings as always

I loved the blog so much that I bought the book. Guess what? I love the book too.
