Yummers! by James Marshall
Taking guidance from the Buddha and a host of wise teachers Anda Peterson embarks on what she calls an enlightenment experiment as she sets out to practice non-attachment and discover a life of peace and fulfillment. Having first survived a traumatic childhood and later an abusive relationship, her purpose is to find genuine happiness despite not having all the things society claims she needs: a husband, paid-off mortgage, children, vacation home, and financial safety net. In this account of her journey, she captures the familiarity of everyday experience and transforms it into something close to the sacred. Her story of forgiveness, resilience, and liberation will inspire anyone dealing with a troubling past or an uncertain future.
James Marshall (19421992) created dozens of exuberant and captivating books for children, including The Stupids, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, and the ever-popular George and Martha books. Before creating his canon of classic, hilarious children s books, James Marshall played the viola, studied French, and received a master s degree from Trinity College. He also doodled. It was the doodles, and the unforgettable characters that emerged from them, that led him to his life s work as one of the finest creators of children s books of the twentieth century. In 2007, James Marshall was posthumously awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder medal for his lasting contribution to literature for children.
