The Strange Case of Origami Yoda

Sometimes your brain just needs a rest. Yesterday and today I have a horrible cough and cold. I thought I was mostly over it and went out on toad patrol (also because I was feeling too guilty not going) but that turned out to be a mistake and I ended up being much worse. So when I woke up this morning after rather broken sleep I felt I needed something not very taxing to read. I have a big pile of books waiting for my attention but they range from the studious to the complex and I just felt I couldn’t cope with anything like that. So I picked up this which I think is a children’s book. I had no idea if it would be any good – and I’ve never seen Star Wars – but actually I really enjoyed it! It was clever, amusing, and not too complicated, and I read the entire thing in one morning over a coffee. It was good to find something that just hit the spot. I don’t know what I’ll do tomorrow morning! All rights reserved. © Text copyright Fleur.

I hope you enjoy it, I will feel responsible if you don't! I did say it was a children's book.

@Fleura Yes, of course. But I love finding books to recommend to my nieces and nephew.

It's amazing you haven't seen Star Wars, but I guess it's not the type of movies you like.

Well I guess I don't know if it is or not! So far though it didn't tempt me.

Honestly, that sounds like exactly what you needed — sometimes the best reads are the ones that ask nothing from you except to enjoy the moment. There’s zero shame in choosing something light when your brain and body are clearly asking for rest. The fact that you read it in one cozy morning over coffee makes it even better. Now I’m curious — what book was it? And honestly… if you enjoyed it without ever seeing Star Wars, that says a lot! Hope you’re feeling better tomorrow — maybe your next “non-taxing” read will surprise you again.

I've never shied away from a good children's book. They can still be a really good read.
