Why am I passionate about this?
I am a clinical social worker and writer of 13 books and more than 40 poems and essays in national magazines and journals. For 20 years, I counseled survivors of violent crimes in individual and group treatment at the Crime Victims Treatment Center in New York. My book recommendations are eclectic, maybe odd, but I read widely for diversion. I set my kitchen timer and try to read every day for at least half an hour. As I age, I read to be soothed, educated, involved, entertained. I no longer finish books that are boring. I used to… but those days are over!
Jane's book list on aging
Why did Jane love this book?
When I’m feeling stuck, I pick up this children’s book of rhyming, lyrical delight. Easy sentences I read out loud that encourage decision-making.
The story validates my choices, promoting an expansion of ideas and affirming growth. I am also touched by the gentle words after a fall-down. The story acknowledges that life has difficult moments and cheers you to go forward. A kind, welcoming book that says, “You can do anything!” Is that cool or what?
