Laurel Snyder Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Laurel Snyder

Toys Go Out is gentle enough for a toddler but clever enough to snare a slightly older kid pretending not to listen. And it’s so quietly philosophical about relationships, communication, and the idea of home that I often went to bed still pondering what I’d just read.

The book uses Woodson’s deeply personal recollections... to examine the crossroads of America’s recent past... The way the distinct, quotidian details of Woodson’s biography are woven into the decades reminds the reader that each day, we are all living through history.

@colbysharp Proud Taste of Scarlet and Miniver? Catherine Also Called Birdy? Inquisitors Tale? There’s an amazing one coming in March that you might be able to request an arc of, Wild Bird, by Diane Zahler! (Late medieval)

This One Summer is one of the rare books perfect for middle schoolers... The plot is so much like real life, it’s almost painful—but it’s a deeply honest depiction of adolescence, and it might help provide families with a basis for difficult-to-navigate conversations.

@joannarakoff I feel like you’ve read everything. But I’m totally sucked into Crossroads right now. And it’s not a novel, but Ada Calhoun’s Also a Poet is my favorite book of the year. It reads like an engrossing novel for bookish geeks like us.
