Grandma has come to live with Noah’s family, and he couldn’t be happier. They put together puzzles, read books, and play with Sunny, Grandma’s dog. And she never misses a chance to tell Noah that she loves him “to the stars.”
But lately Grandma hasn’t been the same. She does funny things like lose her shoes in the bathtub, and not so funny things like getting lost and forgetting how to read. Mom explains that Grandma’s brain has gotten sick, and it makes her forget things. That means it’s their job to remember for her―and to make sure she always knows that she is loved as much as she loves them.
With thoughtful, child-friendly language and warm, painterly illustrations, I Love You to the Stars is a beautiful book that helps children understand the often-scary reality of a grandparent or older friend experiencing dementia. It can be read with an adult, along with the discussion questions included at the end of the book, or pulled from the shelf by little hands whenever they need a reminder that love is always there.

Flies are the most ubiquitous of insects: buzzing, minuscule, and seemingly insignificant, they’ve been both plagues and minor annoyances for millennia. Rather than ignore these incredibly mundane and seemingly insignificant creatures, poets spanning centuries–from the seventeenth to the twentieth–and continents–from North America to Asia–have found that these ordinary bugs in fact illuminate deep spiritual mysteries.
In this revelatory book, Robert Hudson considers seven poets, each of whom wrote a provocative poem about a fly. These poets–all mystics in their own way–ponder the simple fly and come to astounding conclusions. Considering Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and several other poets, The Poet and the Fly brings together the poetry, the flies, and the poets’ own lives to explore the imaginative, and often prophetic, insights that come from the startling combination of poetry and flies.
Ultimately, the message each poet offers to us through the fly is as relevant today as it was in their own time: the miracle of existence, the gift of mortality, the power of the imagination, the need for compassion, the existence of the soul, the mystery of everything around us, and the sacramental, grace-giving power of story.
