We all have books that are waiting for just such an occasion. When the author of Homecoming and Transcendent Kingdom was young, her parents made her “write a report on the children’s book I was reading at the time. I think it was The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. … I wrote something to the effect of ‘This book is very good. If you’d like to learn more about it, read it yourself.’ I’m happy to say that was the end of the book reports but not the end of my love for reading.” – The Guardian (UK)
