If you’re seeing the Mac Barnett quote floating around, here’s the best break down I’ve seen that addresses the book as a whole in addition to the quote

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

Every time I have a slower day- I did nothing today!
Stoping to think- did laundry, sorted baby’s clothes, packed away too small things/got out next set, bathed kids, made lunch, meal planning/grocery list, played.
Yep, nothing, what a lazy day!
