"Sleep my little babby-oh, sleep until you waken. When you wake you'll see the world if I'm not mistaken. Kiss a lover, dance a measure, find your name and buried treasure. Face your life, it's pain, it's pleasure, leave no path untaken." ~neil gaiman

There is so much that I could write about right now, but for some reason I only feel like mentioning a book I read recently with which I fell in love. I read it a few weeks ago. It's The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman. You're probably familiar with his young adult novel Coraline, which was recently made into a movie. I think I enjoyed The Graveyard Book even more than I enjoyed Coraline (and I loved Coraline when I first read it years ago). The Graveyard Book recently won the prestigious 2008 Newbery Medal, and deservedly so. It is brilliant. It is scary and touching and heartbreaking and clever and Gaiman is just a master storyteller. It's about a boy who is raised by ghosts in a graveyard, but it's about so much more than that. It's about growing up. Go read the reviews on Amazon, because they're much better written than my hurriedly composed plug for the novel. And read the novel. It is not just a kids' book (in fact, I think it would be scary for kids; I was reading it on the subway and at one point I gasped in fear so loudly that I was embarrassed). I cannot say enough good things about it.

My life is so busy right now and it's frustrating. Hopefully it will calm down soon.
Tomorrow I'm taking my kids to the Museum of Natural History. Field trips are not easy for teachers. I'm dreading it.
