Weekend Recommendation

Hey there everyone!  I hope you are all having a good weekend.  It's nothing but sick kids and frigid wind chills around these parts, but it is still a nice weekend of family time.  In fact, it was so nice, I nearly forgot to write my weekend recommendation!  This weekend I'm in a mellow slice-of-life kind of mood, so I'm going to recommend Our Corner Grocery Store by Laura Beingessner and illustrated by Joanne Schwartz.  This is a perfectly told day-in-the-life story which is something I just can't do yet.  I love the feel of the book and taking a peek at a world I wouldn't otherwise get to see.  This one was published in 2009, so it isn't a new one, but it is new to me.  Worth a glance!
