#ScribesAndMakers 27Mar—What's a book that made you see the world differently? How?

There have been many over the years, for different reasons. The one most recently would have to be There Are Rivers In The Sky, by Elif Shafak.

I have an environmental science degree, but the poetic way she writes about environmental justice—through the history of a raindrop—was particularly moving. Truly a masterpiece, IMO.

"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.

"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."

"Are you sure?"

"You think it frivolous?"

"No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."

"Would my life change?"

"You ask that every time."
