This is a memoir, but a memoir written for children, written to encourage children to write their own memoirs.
I love everything Codell has written. I was happy to finally find a copy of this book. I suspected Codel had had an unconventional childhood; this book confirmed it, with artist parents, a stint at an alternative school, and adventures with a matzoh ball.
