\nThe Horn Book<\/em> has posted my review of A Big Bed for Little Snow<\/em> (Little, Brown, October 2019), Grace Lin’s<\/a><\/strong> follow-up to last year’s A Big Mooncake for Little Star<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, which won a Caldecott Honor. That review is here<\/a><\/strong>, if you’d like to read more about the book. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n

* * * Jules’ Kicks * * *<\/strong><\/font>
<\/center><\/p>\n

1)<\/strong><\/font> Netflix’s Unbelievable<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. I think I watched the entire thing in three nights. It’s outstanding. <\/p>\n

2)<\/strong><\/font> Angel Olsen’s<\/a><\/strong> new album. <\/p>\n

3)<\/strong><\/font> Pokko!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

4)<\/strong><\/font> The first of my youngest daughter’s birthday celebrations. (Suffice it to say she likes to celebrate all month<\/em> \u2014 as we all should, I suppose.) <\/p>\n

5)<\/strong><\/font> I was very sorry to hear this week about the loss of a former interpreting colleague<\/a><\/strong>. But the kick is that I once knew him. He was a good soul and an excellent interpreter with a quick wit and a deep appreciation for the arts. <\/p>\n

6)<\/strong><\/font> Doing my part, even when it isn’t easy. <\/p>\n

7)<\/strong><\/font> Taking a break, which (at the time of this typing) we Danielsons are about to do. And in beautiful Asheville. But by the time you’re reading this, I’ll be back. <\/p>\n
