THERE SHOULD BE FLOWERS by our very own Joshua Jennifer Espinoza was an immediate hit with Usha. He’s been hoarding the book, sleeping on or next to it, and he also loves to softly nose around the pages finding his favorite poems. Mishu was allowed a little nibble - but no more.

You can read a review on Blackbird here. It fully backs up Usha’s opinion.
