A Book Review

Gail Boenning is a writer/artist I became acquainted with on one of my used-to-be-favorite writing platforms, Medium. She is intentional with her word selection, fluid in her delivery, and a great artist, too.
I reviewed another book of hers in December of last year—POISE: Facing Cancer with Grace and Resilience, but did not share it here. You can read it via Amazon by clicking on the link. But here is a blurb about it just to heighten your curiosity:
Gail’s story in bite-sized vignettes was helpful and fulfilling. I felt as though I was walking right along with her throughout every phase, but not directly–indirectly. I was an outsider looking in, and I enjoyed my time spent there.
It was of no surprise to me that Flit Flutter Float (a playful guide) would be just as enjoyable. I was wOWed, sent to my #happyplace, and remained there the entire time.
The review:
“A Bit of Sunshine During These Gloomy Days
Gail never ceases to amaze me! I am happy to see her take her art to a whole new level. In Flit Flutter Float, she offers 33 fun, philosophical, and witty micropoems that remind us to be limitless.
For each poem, there is an animal with a suitable name, a quirky dilemma, and an airtight solution. The illustrations made me smile, and I connected with a number of the poems shared. I would venture to say the book is definitely for ages 13 and older.
Some of the references may go over the younger ones’ heads, but I am certain anyone can take delight in the art shared.
I could read this over and over again, and I have this feeling, I would never tire of it.”
If you need some light reading with a playful air about it, too, I highly recommend Flit Flutter Float.
We can all use some sunshine in our day.

I initially bought FFF for our 4th grade grandniece, but like you, Tre, I concluded the deceptively simple form concealed deep concepts. Oh well, at least *I* enjoyed reading it! 😁
