Everyone Is Beautiful

Not every book we read has to be a big literary novel, clever, thoughtful, dense. At times, we just want to read a book that reassures us about the troubles that hit us as humans and about the hidden strengths we have to overcome. And we might just want a laugh or two at the foibles of little boys. Everyone is Beautiful is such a book, a book when we are seeking a gentle, funny read.

I like this book. It's not Tolstoy, but it's a perfect read for spring break. It reminded me of the tiring days of young motherhood and the sweetness and pain of raising children. It's funny here and there and always true.
