My novels, Watching Glass Shatter and Father Figure, can be purchased on Amazon as electronic copies or physical copies. Loved it! I want to sample some more books by this fine author and her illustrators.įor those new to me or my reviews… here’s the scoop: I’m Jay, an author who lives in NYC. But the lessons to take from it are still powerful. I found it pretty fun, but possibly a little dated given many of those things aren’t normal routines anymore. This was a believable experience, and it really helps show kids how to relax and just let go when it’s time to sleep. I can only imagine! I babysat a lot as a teenager and I have tons of younger cousins, nieces, and nephews, so I’ve been through it before, too. I don’t have kids, but I do have a 5-month-old puppy who whines for 5 minutes every night when he goes in his cage/crate (hopefully he’ll be fully housebroken soon so he can roam around when he wants). I hadn’t remembered reading it when I was a child, but it might have been read to me… either way, it was like a whole new experience! It’s always so difficult to convince a child to fall asleep at night. Come check it out and join the next few weeks! Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown is one of the books that followers of my blog voted as a must-read for our Children’s Book August 2018 Readathon.

I was looking for a community and needed an outlet for my creative side. I worked in restaurants for the same reason Chang did. As a mostly vegetarian, I was not going to spend the small amount of cash I had at a place with a motto of “Fuck Vegetarians.” I never joined them, because Chang’s reputation preceded him. Many of my friends at school would take the train into New York City on the weekend to eat at Chang’s restaurant Momofuku. I graduated from the Culinary Institute of America a few years after Chang finished culinary school.
