Throwback Thursday: The Remarkable Farkle McBride by John Lithgow

The Remarkable Farkle McBride is the story of a young boy and his remarkable talent to play nearly every musical instrument. The book is written in rhyme and is filled with fantastical onomatopoeia to tell of the sounds of the various instruments.

This is one of my favorite childhood books because of the way it feels when I read it aloud. The rhyming and
the sounds of the instruments roll around your mouth and come out in a way that makes you smile. It's a beautiful book to look at. It is a beautiful book to read. And it is a beautiful book because it tells you to follow your desires until you find your true passion and calling. I love this book.

If you haven't read it yet go read it!

That's all for today! See you tomorrow!
