I saw My Heart is Like a Zoo, by Michael Hall, last weekend at the bookstore – it jumped into my hands because it’s such a fresh, graphic change from so many of the childrens books out there. I love the look of it. Plus, it’s a unique approach to a Valentine’s gift, if you might be looking for that sort of thing. It’s not red, or pink, or frilly.You know what’s even cooler?
