Some things are not large enough to become a book, but too beautiful to forget. So I write. I write about trips that help me see the world more widely, about growing alongside my child, about life in Germany through the eyes of a foreigner, and about afternoons quiet enough for a few small stories in A Leaf’s Work Is To Be Green.

Some Lessons a Mother Cannot Learn for Her Child
