A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland Indiana by Haven Kimmel


A girl named Zippy was on all the book club lists online so I read it :) .. Its a small book so it was a quick one day read. It was entertaining and made me smile a few times.

Its basically just a memoir about a happy childhood.

Nicknamed "Zippy" for her energetic interpretation of a circus monkey, she could not be bothered to speak until she was three years old, and her first words involved bargaining with her father about whether or not a baby bottle was still appropriate. Born in 1965, Zippy lived in a world filled with a loving family, peculiar neighbors, and multitudes of animals, including a chicken she loved and treated like a baby.
