Ladies of Darkness,
Ladies of Light,
and Ladies of Never-You-Mind,
This is a prayer for a blueberry girl.

I decided that it was time that Leah got her first Neil Gaimen book. Instead of getting some of my favorites like American Gods, Neverwhere, or even The Graveyard Book, I opted for Blueberry Girl.  OK, actually I was looking for something special for Leah before she started kindergarten this fall and found out about this book and,  yes, it is perfect for my Spiderman-loving, bike ridin’, science experimentin’ daughter.

I want her to be safe, but also to experience life as she makes a big step into the world.  I think this book explains all that.
