Leia is always steeped in nostalgia, and wanted to show some special books to Harvest. These are books that both her and I cared about when we were little! Most importantly, she wanted Richard scary's Busy Busy World. This was part of my attempt to expose my children to the various cultures of the world, not realizing that I was perpetuating stereotypes in the process. Why did Leia want Busy Busy World? This is because the German story has 3 important characters: Smudge, Hans, and Frau Washerwoman. She named 3 of her stuffed animals after these characters and they were much beloved in our family!
