Three Reads For July

July 12, 2011

By Kim Culbertson

Here’s a summer sampling of three books that make me laugh and still tug at my heart.

Children’s: Shy Charles by Rosemary Wells

Five years ago, we took our daughter on a long trip and she made us read this book about 200 times. I still love it. Charles is a shy mouse and his parents wish he’d say more. …

In between teaching drama, creative writing, and English to high school students for over ten years, Kim Culbertson has written short fiction for Cicada and her first young adult novel Songs for a Teenage Nomad (Sourcebooks). Sourcebooks will publish her second young adult novel Instructions for a Broken Heart in May of 2011. She lives in the Northern California foothills with her husband and daughter, where she loves to drink coffee and look at the clouds.
