    Hi, I’m Krista.

    Strategic communicator and storyteller.

    I am the wife of a very talented musician who takes me around the world in pursuit of excellence. Mama to Jakob, Audrey and Ella, who just happens to have Down Syndrome.
    And an aspiring disciple of Jesus, defender of the oppressed, writer, graphic designer and photographer.

    I write and speak on navigating through the fog of life…you know, when things don’t go exactly as planned and am fuelled by a passion to amplify the voices of those on the margins…
    oh, and coffee…lots of coffee.

1001 Children’s Books update

February 25, 2012

A couple of weeks ago I posted about 1001 Children’s Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up. I really am determined and I secretly wish I could buy EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK. and have the coolest library ever…but then, I guess that is what it would be, a library. Anyway, I went to the Cambridge Public Library to get started. If you notice on my sidebar I have an Amazon widget with 1001 Children’s Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up. If you click on the book then you can see what I thought of it…Anyway, the Library surprisingly didn’t have many of the books so I had to skip ahead to ones I found.
Sadly, I recognize that I am doing very poorly at this little challenge but will keep trucking nonetheless…

1. The Little Engine That Could (1930) (We own two copies of this book and have read it many times over)
2. Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book) (1940)
3. Make Way for Ducklings (1941)
4. The Runaway Bunny (1942) (We own the board book version so I’m not sure if it is the same)
5. Three Railway Engines (Railway Series) (1945)
6. Thomas the Tank Engine: The Complete Collection (Railway Series) (1946)
7. Goodnight Moon Big Book (1947) (Totally in the bag!)
8. Lavender’s Blue (1954)
9. Bedtime for Frances (1960)
10. Miffy (1963)
11.Rosie’s Walk (1968)
12.Elephant And The Bad Baby (1969)
13. The Very Hungry Caterpillar (1969)
14. Mr. Gumpy’s Outing (1970) 
15. Meg And Mog  (1972)
16. Good Night, Alfie Atkins (1972)
