Comments on: Reading This Week – The Happiest Refugee – Anh Do https://shambolicliving.com/2012/01/05/reading-this-week-the-happiest-refugee-anh-do/ Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:55:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: vixytwix https://shambolicliving.com/2012/01/05/reading-this-week-the-happiest-refugee-anh-do/#comment-2382 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:55:22 +0000 http://shambolicliving.wordpress.com/?p=947#comment-2382 I am going to read that and pass it on to my children. I think Anh Do is quietly hilarious. I loved your description ‘bloody legend of a mother’ – oh how I love our Aussie English!!! On the basis of your review and what I know the book to be about, I agree that book should be on every reading list in every school (highschool and the picture book version for primary) and I am happy to advocate for that. Your children have had Montessori ed? Oh, we do have a lot to talk about! I can’t wait for your post on alternative schooling 🙂
