I'm Sally Apokedak, and I
live with my son and my
daughter and my old, old
mother, in the lovely city of
Atlanta.
Born to missionary
parents, I spent my early
years in Taiwan. By the time
I was six, I'd been around
the world. The wanderlust
I acquired early followed me
into adult life, taking me to
work in places as far-flung as
Barrow, Alaska, and Santa
Cruz, Bolivia.
My most fulfilling job,
though, was staying home,
taking care of my family. My
husband was a quadriplegic
and we adopted two children.

I'm talking about life and
children's books, because
the two seem to get all
tangled up together for me.
I've loved both--the life
and the books--ever since
I was...well...a child.
I review books that I
have bought or borrowed
or begged. Sometimes I
beg them from authors
and publishers.
No matter where I get
books, I always give my
honest opinion when I
write reviews. I am not
qualified to review books,
really. I'm just a reader
with strong opinions. I love
talking about what I read
and want to get others
excited about children's
books, too.
Many links on this blog
lead to Amazon.com. If you
like my reviews and you
click on a book title or
cover picture and then buy
the book (or anything else)
from Amazon, I will get a
small percentage of the
sale price. Feel free to do
that. It helps support my
book-buying habit. I made
about thirty bucks this way
last year.
hi!
i love that site, and especially the picture of the mom’s butt as she bends over the dryer. she rocks for posing for that one. I have that book, and adore it. Maybe i’ll send in a photo just for fun, but what to do? all the moms have already gotten in their appliances, bent over them, hidden beneath their piles of clothes…? no ideas.
yep, that rear end picture is pretty gutsy. Of course, when one is small enough to fit into a washing machine, it is not surprising that one would feel secure enough to have a picture of one’s rear plastered all over the Internet. LOL
I can think of no new goofy poses. And yet, each day I am amazed that they get goofier and goofier.
I think my favorite is the mom and nine kids all peeking out from all over the laundry room. That looks like quite the happy family.
