Nursery Rhymes + Alcohol = Hickory Daiquiri Dock

In Hickory Daiquiri Dock: Cocktails with a Nursery Rhyme Twist Tim Federle has concocted the ultimate board book for new parents. It features 20 juiced-up nursery rhymes and its rallying cry is Parents Everywhere: Put Down the Rattle ad Pick Up the Shaker! 

Do I really need to say anything else?

Hickory Daiquiri Dock: Cocktails with a Nursery Rhyme Twist is published by Running Press and wonderfully illustrated by Eda Kaban. 

It is also not the author’s first run in with booze and words for his first book Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a Literary Twist was also a smashing success.

We were honored to help Jordanians and Syrian refugees breakthrough conflict and come together to build this beautiful new girls’ school in Za’atari Village.

I am sick with feeling, and sick with greed This warmth inside, my heart, it needs It needs and wants and yearns and pines I’m grossly ill, right to my insides An involuntary glutton, for this intrusive drug A drought that some would say was love But I know better, yes, I do This feeling inside does not include: –Include the flaws, include the faults Include the pain, or nasty insults The tears that my pillow will soak The late, dark nights I stay up and mope– To hear a knock on my open door To await a kiss to make lips’ sore There is no love to cause some joy It’s only a plot, a sick smart ploy To win some land, property to keep To share with friends, a rumor to leak So lock the heart shut, and hide the key far So no one may touch, or move, or mar But late at night, when all must sleep My eyes stay awake, with dreams to reap To dream of things that live and feed Of the love that I so desperately need

What is love?

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

I’m destroying the bridge to the person that has been destroying me.

This is awesome!!

I’m not really so hard & cynical after all — in fact I’m still dangerously soft.
