Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Sometimes it can be very hard to find a good book to read to an elderly person with dementia. Children's picture books are great but it has to be the right kind. 'Cloudy' was perfect! I have read hundreds of lovely picture books to my mother, but this was the only picture book she ever was really interested in, so interested she read the opening paragraph out loud before I could do so! Pretty amazing considering she is 92 and so sleepy most of the time!

Another delightful work of art from Meilo So! The story is an old one, and the retelling couldn't be more charming, but the illustrations truly bring it to life. Something to be cherished for years to come not simply as a children's picture book but as a classic for all ages.

Pale Male Citizen Hawk Of New York City

Meilo So is at her best....beautifully illustrated. A wonderful true story for all ages. I read it to my 92 year old mother and she couldn't have been more entralled with the story as well as the pictures. This is not just for nature lovers; a universal message for all.
