Haven Kimmel

I admit it, I love Haven Kimmel. I can not get enough of her memoir.
A Girl Named Zippy is in my all-time top 5, if not top 3.



I mean, come on, how could you resist this baby? If I had more time and brain power, I could list for you all the ways in which I love her writing. Just trust me here, go and buy this book. I would lend you my copy, but it is ALWAYS being read by a friend...I literally get it back from one person and pass it on directly to the next. Her writing is so believable, so authentic, that I am absolutely and completely transported into her life. I walk around in her shoes. I sport her crazy hair. Even after putting the book down I think like Zippy, in Zippy-isms like "speedy-quick." I am so attached to this family.

Next comes She Got Up Off the Couch.



Love it just as much. Again, how can you resist this picture? Like people say happens with a second child, instead of spreading my love for Zippy thinner, it just became bigger! Do I sound freaky? If I do then you have not read these because everyone I know who reads them feels the same way about Zippy and her family.

This past weekend, I read Kaline Klattermaster's Tree House, a middle grade reader by Haven.


I loved it, of course. I fear kids will have a hard time with the first 2-4 pages, but if they can get into the groove they will find a great reward. I highly HIGHLY recommend reading this aloud with your child. I'm thinking for read-aloud a precocious (or end-of-the-year) second grader would enjoy listening. All the way up through some middle school will love it. Parents will, too.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Haven Kimmel. Jump in with both feet!
