Although I sought out I Like Being Alone because I admire the artwork of illustrator Krystyna Stasiak, I was immediately struck by the title, and when I read it, but the psychological truth of the story. Although my own family, growing up, was considerably smaller than Brenda's, I still enjoyed getting away from them at times, and playing games of make-believe on my own, or just sitting and thinking. We had an old carriage house in our backyard that served very well as a retreat, and as a setting for games, whether communal or solitary. I have rarely seen a children's book which addresses the need to be alone, making Betty Ren Wright's book especially welcome. Nowadays, with helicopter parents and paranoia about stranger danger, it's difficult to imagine parents allowing children the freedom that I took for granted as a girl. I don't know that the text itself here was that accomplished, nor the artwork as appealing as I'd expected - there was a little too much orange in these paintings - but I liked the concept so much that I enjoyed it nevertheless. Recommended to young introverts, and to any child that longs for space and time of their own. ( )
