  •    Who Am I?

         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.

  •      What Am I Doing Here?

         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.

  •      When Am I Doing All This?

          It's hit and miss.

    if you'd rather
    hit, than miss.

  •      Where Do I Get My Books?

         I review books that I
      have bought or borrowed
      or begged. Sometimes I
      beg them from authors
      and publishers.

  •      Why Do I Write Reviews?

         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.

  •      How Rich Am I Getting?

         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.
