Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where did you curl up to read this one, and did anything in the book make you want a snack, a blanket, or a phone call home?

Block writes so warmly about the small textures of home life. Which little domestic detail made you smile or feel tucked-in?
The book sits in the tension between closeness and independence. Which passages made you feel that ache in a soft, familiar way?
How did reading about an unconventional childhood make you feel about your own, whether you were homeschooled or not?
Were there moments where the author's memories nudged loose one of yours? What memory came bubbling up?
Which relationship in the book stayed with you the most, and what did it leave you feeling about the people who raised or shaped you?
By the last pages, what did the book seem to be gently offering you: comfort, permission, understanding, something else? How did that land?
