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.
     You can read more about
  me on my bio page.

     I'm represented by
  Reclaim Management.

     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.

      It's hit and miss.

     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.
