I Want My Hat Back - Jon Klassen
I used to like this book until I read it to my little kid 3,657 times:
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - Amos Tutuola
The Nineties - Lucy Ives
Two books that are the opposite of each other in nearly every way. Tutola's book is a magic book about horror, adventure, pain, and longing. It follows a boy who is lost in the land of ghosts and trying to get back to his mother. It is full of repetition so I felt myself reading it like a song. This helped me cope with the scariness and sadness I felt. I was lost in that book, too. In Ives' book I was never lost. She describes the world of a girl in the 1990's of a certain class and means almost scientifically, with lists and proper nouns. It was anchored in familiar places, names, and things and that cultivated in me a kind of sarcasm about myself.
