Here are some of the books I want to read this year . . . with a few more added as others keep coming my way. Since my teenage years, when it took me just three days to read To Kill a Mockingbird (this was a success for me, as I was a slow reader, and it was an assigned summer read), I have found great enjoyment and rest in reading. Several book “soft spots” include murder mysteries; English period-pieces; quiet, slow, and of the American land (is that a genre?) novels; and memoir. The words of Madeline L’Engle, CS Lewis, Luci Shaw, Wendell Berry, Chaim Potok, Frederick Buechner, and Eugene Peterson have been long-time companions. Also . . . lots of poetry books. And children’s books . . .Well, actually just a lot of books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/ee8605eb-f046-4878-bd46-3fe491968715/22_0301_VOICES_Literarily-by-Kristie-Anyabwile_1021x640-696x436.jpg Books - Literarily: How Understanding Bible Genres Transforms Bible Study I’m just getting started on this book, but I love learning more about the Bible and the genres in it. Over the past couple of years, I started following Kristie Anyabwile, the author of this book, on Instagram because I saw she was one of the Bible teachers of the Charles Simeon Trust. By understanding the purposes of each genre and how the cultures of the time also influenced how each genre was written helps us read Scripture better. We’ll learn to see that each book of the Bible was written to a certain group of people, and at the same time, God had it written for people of every time and culture. She teaches about these genres: History Law Prophecy Poetry Gospels Epistles Wisdom Apocalyptic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/9ae27bee-a983-46e3-a767-725217bbb351/Crowned-wood-display.png Books - Crowned with Glory Written by Dorena Williamson and illustrated by Shetlene Rodney Dorena Williamson has been one of my heroes over the past couple of years. She loves to connect people, and because of this she helped me get connected to other writers — especially several African American women and Latina women — to write for Wild Things and Castles in the Sky. She also is included in one of the essays in the book about representing people of color and why its important to keep being intentional in this. I loved including her books—Thoughtful and Colorful — in Wild Things. Crowned with Glory was not out when we went to the printers. But if it had been, it would have been a perfect one to share. Doesn’t the joy on the front cover — the girl’s beautiful face and twirling dress — make you want to open it up and read it? “Hello, world! I’m a gift from above. I already know that I am loved. Gazing around with a great big grin— there’s whole wide world for me to take in.” As a description of the book says, “An ode to Black hair and Black girl joy, this joy-filled rhyming picture book invites the young readers into the world of a young Black girl as she rocks her God-given beauty. Also, check out her other new book The Celebration Place published by IVPKids. It’s a happy celebration of diversity and unity in the church — what our theological reality is as united to Christ and one body and a reality God calls us to in the here and now. I love how Dorena shares this as a beautiful truth to live in before we get to heaven. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/a6ede05e-f0d4-4a01-ba3a-d82ba00cb505/IMG_9988.jpg Books - Steeped in Stories: Timeless Children’s Novels to Refresh Our Tired Souls It is not hard to become a fan of Mitali Perkins—just looking at photos of her big smile and welcoming eyes made me fan. But, after reading an interview with her in Christianity Today and a review of this book at The Rabbit Room, I felt like I had stumbled upon the literature professor I never had, but wish I had. Mitali has a wide and deep breadth of experiences in countries all over the world; she’s written a volume of interesting books set in other cultures for children and young people; she grew up falling in love with stories because of classics like The Hobbit and Little Women; and she is a follower of Jesus. I love learning from book-loving Christians from other countries. I want to hear about their lives and how their cultures shape them. I want to learn from them — learn more of how God is naming the world and writing his stories in their lives and in their cultures. Steeped in Stories is a gift to the church and to all who love classics but want to have good conversation about how to acknowledge and respond to aspects of these stories that are questionable and/or don’t respect people of different races and backgrounds (sometimes not easily seen by readers of the same culture as the story teller.) Mitali talks about this and much more in the opening chapters of her book. I love her wisdom and insight. (Also she quotes Alan Jacobs and my favorite book of his Breaking Bread with the Dead.) Mitali structures the book around “Seven Books, Seven Virtues” (the name for Chapter 2). She says, “I’ve drawn upon ancient church tradition as the source of the seven virtues explored in seven children’s novels. When it comes to good character, these aren’t an exhaustive list of attributes, but they do provide us with a start. The four cardinal virtues—justice, temperance, prudence, and courage—originated in Greek thought and were co-opted by early leaders of the church who added the three theological virtues—faith, hope, and charity (love)—that are named in 1 Corinthians 13. Each novel illuminates one of these seven virtues. These timeless children’s stories also shed light on seven fiery vices inside our souls that are stoked by heat from our culture and era: rigidity, alienation, despair, pusillanimity, self-indulgence, favoritism, and rashness. Each virtue battles a particular vice, with love extinguishing rigidity; faith, alienation; hope, despair; courage, pusillanimity; temperance, self-indulgence; justice, favoritism; and prudence, rashness.” (pages 38 and 39) (Doesn’t that sound great?) Mitali Perkins is featured in Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Guide to Choosing the Best Books for Children. You can imagine how happy I am about that! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/482a7c41-761b-4e05-8ae4-9712c226e2c9/IMG_9990.jpg Books - Everything Comes Next: Collected & New Poems I just recently discovered Naomi Shihab Nye. This book of her poetry was in the children’s section in Barnes and Noble, however, I am loving all of this. Her words are alive and full of attention and love for people and places. She is a real inspiration for me. A few poems from the book: Please Describe How You Became a Writer Possibly I began writing as a refuge from our insulting first grade textbook. Come, Jane, come. Look, Dick, look. Were there ever duller people in the world? You had to tell them to look at things? Why weren’t they looking to begin with? Always Bring a Pencil There will not be a test. It does not have to be a Number 2 pencil. But there will be certain things— the quiet flush of waves ripe scent of fish, smooth ripple of the wind’s second name— that prefer to be written about in pencil. It gives them more room to move around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/9ad6aea4-cb84-4bde-b84c-a497d34389b7/IMG_9991.jpg Books - Turning of Days: Lessons from Nature, Season, and Spirit I’ve slowly read this book; savoring each section with each season. Hannah Anderson’s words always fit right in my heart and mind. She and her husband know much more about nature and land than I do, so I enjoy listening into what she shares about what is happening in the natural world each season. Her ability to intertwine spiritual and Scriptural truths while writing about the seasons has kept me returning to this book. I’ll keep rereading it through this year. Here is an excerpt from the last chapter. “Life. Life. Life. If nature teaches you anything, its that you must concern yourself with life, and not simply your own. You must love life that even your death serves it. Because what nature knows is that one life does not stand alone any more than one seed stands alone. Your life stands in the generations. And one day, the generations planted in hope will rise together. One day, we will love as our Redeemer does. One day together we shall see Him standing upon the dust; we will in our flesh, see our God. Today is not that day, however. Today is winter. Today, the wind and rain blow cold. So what are you to do? What you to do while you wait? This is what you do in winter: you plan for spring. This is what you do when the earth lies dark: you plan for dawn. This is what you do when death seems to reign: you plan for resurrection.“(pages 154-155) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1630270967895-ZWFDF5LTE4D19B2LRDGV/IMG_0953.jpg Books - Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Guide to Choosing the Best Books for Children an excerpt from Amy Knorr’s essay “Books that Sing: Rhyme and Rhythm and Other Delightful Draws” I have this image in my mind when I think about my favorite books. I can see each book lined up on library or bookstore shelf just quivering with anticipation, ready to be cracked open, its song offered into the world again and again. It might be but a whisper of a song meant to woo in stillness or it might be a rip-roaring all-night party of a song sure to have its audience belly-laughing by the second line, but I am certain each book does have a song. Some songs, it is true, made their way into their books before they were fully formed, but the best of books sing in your head long after the cover has been shut and the book put back on the shelf. Robert Frost once wrote that a poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom. The same is true of the picture book read aloud. Begun in a delight of sound and meter, it ends in wisdom, if only the wisdom of realizing fresh that laughter is truly the best medicine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1630464419741-GSR5DI8DIES2AQKLG5J8/im-279661.jpeg Books - Studying with Miss Bishop: Memoirs From a Young Writer’s Life Dana Gioia “Dana Gioia writes that, by the time he went to college in the early 1970s, he had “already developed a deep suspicion of all theories of art that did not originate in pleasure.” To help build on this sensible foundation, he had the good fortune, during his student days, to encounter some of the leading literary figures of the time. In his final semester as a graduate student at Harvard in 1975, Mr. Gioia was presented with a choice of teachers: Robert Lowell, then at the height of his fame, or Elizabeth Bishop, not well known and often spoken of as a Lowell protégée. Lowell’s seminar on 19th-century poetry was much in demand. “Everyone who fancied himself a poet talked about taking it,” Mr. Gioia writes. As for Bishop’s course on contemporary verse: “I had never heard anyone mention it at all.” (From the Wall Street Journal review) (I carried this book around with me for days, reading it whenever I could. What a delightful book - full of stories about Dana and other writers. Dana Gioia has been pretty influential in my literary life and loves, especially poetry, for at least a decade. And his work with the National Endowment of the Arts in bringing poetry, Shakespeare, and good books into communities around the country made me respect and appreciate him even more. Also, he carries himself like a gentleman. Also, he is always reminding me in his writings and speakings, to enjoy the words and find pleasure in artwork and poetry… I love that!) Learning about his childhood in the memoir was enjoyable.

I wish I had had this when the girls were younger; we have enjoyed books with talking woodland animals (Narnia, Brambly Hedge, Beatrix Potter, and even Redwall). I confess I’ve never been the biggest Pilgrim’s Progress fan, but this version has captured my imagination and I plan to read it to myself. Or maybe film myself reading it and send it to some of my young friends. Here is a short youtube trailer for the book: Little Pilgrim’s Progress. Learn more about Joe Sutphin through this Moody Publishers interview and his website. Joe and his wife Gina are long-distant friends through the Rabbit Room and have been huge encouragers for Ned and me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1627582448475-FODP3UYSULLVX643QYRC/Wild+Things+and+Castles+cover+-+alt.jpg Books - Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Guide to Choosing the Best Books for Children Coming in 2022.

As I’ve looked over my book shelves, the ones on this list have informed my mind and filled my imagination about living everyday life “before the face of God.” Books I Don’t Plan to Get Rid Of https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1627528061190-5YO756I1AKPKMS3Q4MND/226192336_10224363585729777_5779377765138860710_n.jpg Books - The O in Hope This November, Luci Shaw’s poem “The O in Hope” comes out as children’s book illustrated by my husband Ned from IVPKids. What a dream come true for him, as well as for me, as I have been a fan of Luci Shaw’s work for about 20 years. Below, Cindy Bunch at IVP posted this on facebook. . . it’s such a wonderful way sum up what was happening concerning this poem and Ned’s vision with it. From Cindy Bunch at IVPKids: “The O in Hope by Luci N. Shaw and Ned Bustard arrived at IVP this week. The back story for this book is one of serendipity and Holy Spirit action. During Covid I started thinking seriously that IVP should dive into children’s book publishing. And then one day Luci Shaw copied me on a group email in which she shared this beautiful book that Ned Bustard had created from her poem “The O in Hope.” Luci got me in touch with Ned, and this project became a part of the early group of books that made up our @ivpkids project proposal. The result is a delightful, uplifting project available everywhere November 2. Early copies are available now at ivpress.com." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1629060285456-UWKE0JG53KY71GHSCRBS/38DADE33-3DC8-42E1-8B99-60DBB451E7F8-scaled.jpeg Books - A Habit Called Faith: 40 Days in the Bible to Find and Follow Jesus Jen Pollack Michel “There’s nothing accidental about this party appearing at the very beginning of Jesus’s public ministry. For a Gospel that began with the cosmic, esoteric declaration “in the beginning was the Word.” John 2 is a quick and jerky descent. Here we have a Jesus who is as earthy as he is eternal. He’s not a ghostly, gauzy figure from another planet. He attends weddings. His mother expects regular phone calls. John’s account of the wedding at Cana takes a sledgehammer to the divide that we’ve often erected between the sacred and the secular, the spiritual and the ordinary. Although Christians have a long, unfortunate history of making every pleasure a guilty one, this narrative doesn’t tolerate asceticism for its own sake. No, it tells us that God can be as comfortable at a party as he is in the church pew—that our habits of faith can be as celebratory as they are contemplative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1629174942483-QOACH1M4TATLX2ZCXGEP/23130995_10154881532092624_8474689831781048960_n+2.jpg Books - Imagination, Mystery, and Wonder Junius Johnson an excerpt from the intro essay of Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Guide to Choosing the Best Books for Children “When I was a child, the world seemed infinite. The horizon, which ever recedes no matter how far you chase it, seemed literal: perhaps the world really did go on forever. Omniscience was easy to envision: perhaps my dad really did know everything. When I learned from the old professor in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe that nothing was more likely than that “there could be other worlds—all over the place, just round the corner,” this was not much of a surprise. My response, though not in these words, was something like: “I knew it!” The excitement immediately turned into action: I of course began looking for them. Many a closet failed to yield to my questing hands as I vainly sought passage into the world of magic and talking animals. Of course, the professor had warned that we shouldn’t go looking for them, that if we were patient and lived our lives, they would come to us; but how could I be sure they would find me if I didn’t look? Perhaps the violent could seize the kingdom of Narnia by force. I never succeeded, of course, but it always felt like I might. Like Lucy in Prince Caspian, I felt that I had come just a little too late, or asked in not quite the right way. The reality I sought had always just disappeared around the corner as I came into the room: you could still smell its scent. And so the search continued.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1628633558777-YZVLP66WCSIFP1C7RSH9/da6qvjjug8vufd7uretkpbv6t9._SY600_.jpg Books - This Beautiful Truth Sarah Clarkson I am looking forward to reading this book with some friends. Lancia Smith’s interview with Sarah Clarkson in the summer issue of Cultivating. is rich and encouraging. She shares who story of mental illness and how God used Beauty to bring restoration. “But art, for me, offers a visceral and immediate encounter with beauty that arrests me in the moment, that summons me to the present. I think we are halted in our steps by the visual confrontation of a powerful image; the artist cannot politely ask us to look, we are, rather, compelled by the potency of what has been created before us. Image and symbol, they bypass so much of our constant constant interior argument and commentary, requiring us instead simply to ‘look’. And in that startled looking, I think we often begin to be aware of the world and ourselves in a different way.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1627736618452-9ZGEP9249X2MWGK1TWY7/21_0413_VOICES_The-Beautiful-Community-by-Irwyn-Ince-Jr_1021x640-696x436.jpg Books - Erwin Ince, Jr and The Beautiful Community: Unity, Diversity, and the Church Ned is not quick to praise a book over and over, but while reading this book, he did and then kept telling others to read it.

When I was writing about women being Strong Allies/Ezers, and my church was encouraging me to either write a book or get published somewhere, I reached out to Deeply Rooted about my desire to write, the topics I was writing about, and my admiration of Deeply Rooted, Thea responded. She was both interested in my topic and also said she loved working with new writers. And to top it all off, she loved my husband Ned’s 3 children’s books with Crossway Books (Church History ABCs, Reformation ABCs, and Bible History ABCs). What a gift to work with her. Now Théa proofreads/edits our Square Halo books and is part of the Wild Things and Castles in the Sky editing triad (which also includes my daughter Carey and me). In the world of books, what we have read, and what we loved, we are kindred spirits. Check out her book website called Little Book, Big Story.

It is through memory the we are able to recommend much of our lives that we have long since written off by finding that in everything that has happened to us over the years God was offering us possibilities of new life and healing which, though we may have missed them at the time, we can still choose and be brought to life by and healed by all these years later. “ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1627610929074-1Q64TD7RM9N7DRQ1DJ5D/327.thumb.jpg Books - Reading the Bible Like a Grown-up Child Essay by Calvin Seerveld “To read the Bible the way it is written, you have to give up your own agenda. You have to dwell in the text and see the whole woven tapestry of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. When you do, you will find that God speaks to you and with you”. “What’s crucial is not to treat the Bible like a block of wood that you cut and shape and customize for your project. When you do that, you read the Bible with an obscuring veil over your eyes (2 Cor. 3:12-18). Reading the Bible argumentatively also ruins the fun and scariness of hearing God’s voice, which can caress your cheek lightly or suddenly hit you in the solar plexus.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1627339676106-BH5AKFRL1HBIXDJEI2V0/9781567698169_1356043%402x.jpg Books - A Little Book on the Christian Life John Calvin’s words are both challenging and comforting. He points me to holiness and shepherds me with grace. “. . . none of us is capable of running swiftly on the right course while we remain in the earthly confinement of our bodies. Indeed, most of us are so oppressed with weakness that we make little progress—staggering, limping, and crawling on the ground. But let us move forward according to the measure of our resources and pursue the path we have begun to walk. None of us will move forward with so little success that we will not make some daily progress in the way. Therefore, let us keep trying so that we might continually make some gains in the way of the Lord, and neither let us despair over how small our success are. For however much our successes fall short of our desire, our efforts aren’t in vain when we are father along than yesterday. So let us fix our eyes on the goal with sincerity, aspiring to that end. . . Let us press on with continual striving toward that goal that we might surpass ourselves. . . we will only possess it when we have escaped the weakness of the flesh and have ben received into HIs perfect fellowship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1626700623410-JP1LB8F2NX1IB6ZGOLUC/Little+Women+Cover.jpg Books - Little Women Comprehension Guide I loved the books we read during out homeschooling years.

Rooted in Scripture and listening to the stories of artists, writers, teachers, homemakers, caregivers, shopkeepers—single and married, young and old—Strong Allies calls women in every walk and stage of life to love the people around them in the places where he has planted them, through creating, cultivating, and restoring. About Strong Allies Carmen Joy Imes writes: Leslie’s beautiful book not only shows us Scripture’s strong vision for women to be strong allies, but brings that vision to life in the stories of dozens of women then and now in a wide range of life circumstances. Personal and tender, practical and inspiring—we finally have a guide to biblical womanhood! Leslie Anne Bustard loved gathering people together, and this generous hospitality is woven throughout this book. While Leslie’s voice guides the conversation, she also invited over twenty different women to join her at the table: alongside Leslie’s teaching, Strong Allies features essays from Karen Swallow Prior, Luci Shaw, Christie Purifoy, and many others, all reflecting on how they have either sought to be strong allies or have been shaped by the strong allies they’ve encountered throughout history, literature, and their own lives. By spreading this feast of examples before readers, Leslie reminds us that we are not meant to fit into one mold but to live out the endless variety and beauty of the Lord, each in our own particular way. Leslie’s vision is one of abundance—not a narrowing, but a broadening, a deepening, that fills the expanse Scripture gives to women without overflowing the banks God’s Word also lovingly provides.

About Tiny Thoughts Luci Shaw writes: Light has a miraculous way of illuminating whatever is in its path. Leslie Anne Bustard partook of this brightness—nothing superficial, more an inner gleam that showed up on her joyful face and got translated into her loving messages into the world, and especially to those of us who encountered her on her shortened path of life. For those who did not get to meet her, I’m thankful for this collection of writings which serves as an introduction to Leslie and to her luminous work. Thanks be to God!

It is a collection of around eighty poems in various forms—free verse, tanka, and ekphrasis. These poems were written from October 2020-October 2023, while the author was dealing with the reality of cancer and the hard side effects of fighting it. Artist Ross Wilson says, "These poems exalt the wonders of the everyday, wonders we so often neglect. They bring inward and outward illumination to our eyes and to our hearts, encouraging us to hope, love, feel, to reach out again, and again." Foreword by Hannah Anderson. These are poems that are ardently porous to the wonders of the world, insistent on its plain poetic beauty, unafraid of its mystery. The art of the poems is their appearance of unworked candour (in itself a hard-wrought skill), a transparency of heart, and an unwavering belief in the transcendent that lingers in this imminent realm. Beautiful, hopeful, honest, true to the grain of grace—this is a book to open the heart and the eye, giving us back marvel and joy in the land of the living. —Andrew Roycroft, pastor/poet and author of 33: Reflections on the Gospel of John Leslie Bustard’s new poems are the stuff of a visionary reality, penetrating beyond life’s surfaces in the most generous way, expectant, full of the juice of a life of active reflection. She sees a scar as a sign of hope—grace celebrated in the midst of anguish. These poems illustrate so well how a poet penetrates beyond such surfaces (though even those surfaces have significance), opening up thoughtful responses to ordinary events, and finding ways to celebrate these “ordinaries” that are far from ordinary. — Luci Shaw, poet and author of The O in Hope: A Poem of Wonder Leslie Bustard is a miracle. In the throes of a grueling battle with cancer, when many of us might be tempted to turn inward or sullen, she has turned outward, grown brighter and effervesced reams of poetry. She evokes E.E. Cummings’ “i thank you God for most this amazing,” in which the speaker, after encountering the beauty of creation, concludes, “(now the ears of my ears awake and / now the eyes of my eyes are opened).” For Bustard, tangible news of her mortality opens her eyes, inspires close inspection of trees, flowers, birds of all types, skies of all hues, and the people in her life that mean so much to her. In these poems there is not a moment of anger, nor even a suggestion of bitterness. Dealing with cancer has brought the moments of her life suddenly, shimmeringly to life—her memories of beauty, too, have become beacons of hope: It seemed all the mysteries of the world / floated on the trill of katydids. Though she also devotes quite a bit of energy to looking at paintings and engaging other authors, Bustard’s own words are the starry night we didn’t expect. She joins Sarah who, she writes, was barren no more and all / her sadness had come untrue. Constant joy. May we all aspire to this condition, in rich communion with God and all the Saints, fully healed in the grace of Jesus. —Aaron Belz, author of four poetry collections including Soft Launch (Persea, 2019). This was a limited edition book and is now unavailable. Many of the poems from this collection are part of Tiny Thoughts I’ve Been Thinking.

Among the topics covered are: imagination, faith, classic literature, middle school books, race, fantasy, contemporary children’s books, Shakespeare, art history, Newberry books, young adult novels, poetry, and more. Curated and edited by Leslie and Carey Bustard with Théa Rosenburg (a mother-daughter team and a children’s books blogger), Wild Things and Castles in the Sky will encourage and envision parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends—to know the power of a good story and to share it with a child they love. In Philippians 4, the Apostle Paul calls us to think on things that are "commendable" or "of good report." Wild Things and Castles in the Sky is just such a book. Filled with essays to help you find other commendable books, it also manages to be commendable in itself, replete with wonder, beauty, and inspiration. But I suppose the greatest commendation I can offer is to simply tell you that my book budget grew ten fold with the reading of it. —Hannah Anderson, author of All That's Good: Recovering the Lost Art of Discernment I find that many books about imagination turn out to actually be books about books. Yet, while in the guise of being a book about books, Wild Things and Castles in the Sky is actually a book about imagination. This is an inspiring and immensely practical gift from forty wise and well-read people to those who want to bring up children marked by meaning. —Brian Lawrence Brown, executive director of the Anselm Society We are lead by the hand by this thoughtful guide into the deeper layers of community life by way of story, a help for how to choose books for children. What we read at a young age shapes us, and it matters. Beautifully done, this collection is sure to be a well-worn reference. —Sandra McCracken, singer-songwriter CLICK HERE to read a sample essay from Leslie.

The creation of this website starts with my delight in words—especially found in Scripture, books, and poetry—and my love for beauty found in the ordinary and in nature. Wandering through museums and discovering new paintings and painters has been a hobby of mine since I was a teenager. Although I’ve spent my most of my adult years, homeschooling, teaching in the classroom, and producing high school and children’s theater, recently I’ve been writing essays and poetry. I love my family, friends, church, and neighborhood, as well as baking, reading, walking, and taking photographs. I”m excited about the publication of Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Guide to Choosing the Best Books for Children coming out April 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/94710e53-e770-423b-8df9-83d2df86ea1e/Wild+Things+with+Square+Halo.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/1626748964169-5CVKHWNV6A9YD59VJ6PV/IMG_8368.jpg About - Bright as Yellow, the Innocence Mission classic, is a very favorite song. “And you live your life with your arms stretched out Eye to eye when speaking Enter rooms with great joy shouts Happy to be meeting And bright, bright, bright, bright as yellow Warm as yellow” https://www.poeticunderpinnings.com/journal daily 0.75 2022-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/d1feebee-6539-41e3-bba1-a87aba44425e/chagall-angel.jpg Journal - Journal Journal is the place where my on-line essays have been collected in one place..

Born Leslie Anne Symons on February 28, 1968, she was the daughter of Richard Harry Symons and Anne Carey Symons. With her brother David, she grew up at 810 Woodsdale Road in Wilmington, DE and was a member of Faith Presbyterian Church, PCA in Wilmington, DE. Leslie attended Wilmington Christian School through 12th grade and graduated from Millersville University with a degree in education. Her first teaching job was at Chapelgate Christian Academy in Marriottsville, MD. Soon after the birth of her first child she left Chapelgate and focused on raising children. Leslie helped found Wheatland Presbyterian Church, PCA and was instrumental in much of the work there—including hosting care groups, creating their first women’s conference (“Bloom Where You’re Planted”), co-founding WHEET (their home educational co-op), and more. Homeschooling was the major work of her life, and in addition to homeschooling her three daughters and teaching in various other co-ops, she developed curriculum for Veritas Press, founded the West End Shakespeare Company, and was the producer of a number of large theater productions through The Lancaster Academy for the Performing Arts. When her children had grown, she returned to full time teaching, this time at Veritas Academy, in Leola, PA. In addition to teaching Literature and Bible to middle schoolers, she also worked with foreign exchange students and ran the drama department. As vice president of Square Halo Books, Inc., Leslie developed and hosted their podcast series “The Square Halo,” as well as planned their conferences. In 2022 she had her first book published, Wild Things and Castles in the Sky: A Guide to Choosing the Best Books for Children (co-edited with daughter Carey and their friend Théa Rosenburg). Her second book, The Goodness of the Lord in the Land of Living: Selected Poems, was published in 2023. Leslie recently contributed to two new books, Ordinary Saints: Living Everyday Life to the Glory of God and Why We Create: Reflections on the Creator, the Creation, and Creating. Leslie was also a contributor to the The Cultivating Project, The Black Barn Online, Story Warren, Anselm Society, and Calla Press, as well as having her poetry appear in other journals. Additionally, she shared her writings and musings through her website: PoeticUnderpinnings.com. Leslie’s next book is in the works, currently titled Tiny Thoughts That I’ve Been Thinking: Selected Writings of Leslie Anne Bustard. Leslie’s greatest gift was in her generous service, in the way she enabled others around her to more vibrantly love God and their neighbors—and to more creatively express that love in all facets of their lives. Leslie embodied so naturally the glad, eternal vision that animated her service. She was not afraid to live life at a walking pace, noting the small beauties and savoring the small delights of the hours, the people, and the creation around her. Her eyes so often seemed to sparkle with the light of a better kingdom, with a wordless beckoning, an invitation, as if she knew some wonderful secret and was forever waiting for the rest of us to catch on. Leslie was a mysterious mixture of open arms, warm smiles, listening ears, and enfolding heart. She was a poet, but she was also a poem. To those blessed to know her, Leslie was both a giver, and a gift. Her husband Ned, and daughters Carey Anne, Margaret Ellen, and Elspeth Iona survive her, as well as her brother W. David Symons of Newark, DE. +++ A memorial service was held April 29th at Westminster Presbyterian Church (see the video below for an excerpt), with a reception following at Wheatland Presbyterian Church, 1125 Columbia Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17603. In lieu of flowers, friends gave over twenty trees to Wheatland Presbyterian Church and made contributions toward her legacy through supporting the publishing of her books, Tiny Thoughts That I’ve Been Thinking. https://www.poeticunderpinnings.com/leslies-nook daily 0.75 2024-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60eda15ccde50b54837d8e57/ccb8de10-299c-4a1d-9e39-6ae1fe7c5a35/471791270_10160979403592916_3366395619173323441_n.jpg Leslie's Nook Leslie’s Nook Leslie was an enthusiastic supporter of Nooks Books when it came to Lancaster (you can read an interview she wrote with the original owner HERE). After she passed over to Glory the shop was bought from the original owner by her friends, Maile and Shawn Smucker. In the new Nooks a room was set apart as “Leslie’s Nook.” They love Leslie and admired her warm and welcoming work in our community, and hope that this space will reflect that aspect of Leslie's calling. You can find many of her books there as well! Click HERE to read a short essay Shawn wrote about the dedication of that space. Leaf by Leslie (left) was commissioned for Leslie’s Nook and was painted by Leslie’s friend, Katie Joy Nellis, a local full-time artist.
