Ferris Wheels, Daffodils & Hot Fudge Sundaes: A Journal of Gratitude
Laura Jensen Walker, Ferris Wheels, Daffodils. Fleming H. Revell Company, $12.99 (112pp) ISBN 978-0-8007-1797-1
Okay, so it's not great literature, but there's something tremendously appealing about Laura Jensen Walker's Ferris Wheels, Daffodils, & Hot Fudge Sundaes: A Journal of Gratitude. Walker, who narrated her battle with breast cancer in Thanks for the Mammogram!, closed that book with a simple chapter listing a number of the things she felt most thankful for. Reader responses to that chapter were so strong that Walker now offers an entire book listing the things that make her grateful, from ""Anne Lamott taking it bird by bird"" to cobblestone streets and getting paid to do what she loves. The book includes space for readers to make their own lists. ( Feb.)
