Grief is a universal experience but it’s also a topic we tend to avoid as to not upset anyone. For the author to share her grief of suddenly losing her husband with her readers was such a relief to me. There seems to be a secret timer set on how long you can grieve before you’re expected to “move on.” You can only talk about the good times, not the pain their absence has caused. I could see where this book would help anyone suffering from a loss.

@SoManyBooks I’m sorry for your loss, but I can see how this book would be a comfort to you. Her writing is so beautiful, and even though I haven’t experienced the death of a spouse I feel this book is good for anyone who experienced a sudden and unexpected death of a loved one.

The illustrations made this short “how-to-fight-fascism” book all the more creepy.

This was a fun read that kept me engaged. It wasn’t particularly original, but it was very well-written and I loved Beatriz and Andres

I do not have a science background, so some of this material went over my head, but I loved learning about the various microorganisms that keep us alive. The fact that they can help us or harm us is fascinating to me.
