Book Review: Tutu Goes Green

Tutu Goes Green by Tulani Thomas is on the shelf at Red Rooster in Harlem. Over the rare groove and coffee there's books and oddities to discuss on a rough wood bookcase. Tutu Goes Green describes perfectly the required lifestyle practices of green living in the simplest and attractive terms.

The illustrations (by Seitu Hayden) show Tutu in environments where she was recyling, refilling her water bottle, carrying her own bag to the grocery and -well I'll just have to let you read it yourself or to a friend for the other greening strategies she employed. The delicious coffee was served in ceramic cups and the refills were piping hot. When our 3 egg omlets arrived, filled up to over flowing with yummy sauteed spinach and goat cheese, it was time to put the adorable surprise book away and have brunch! Visit the Red Rooster for an amazing brunch with a live DJ, a kindly super smooth wait staff and biscuits from the heavens - sit at the second table from the front window near the bar. Harlem bustles with style out the big front windows onto Malcom X Blvd. Let Tutu teach the green here.

Twig:We're urbanites with nary a backyard between us except a little bit of concrete and a fire escape, so terrariums give us the sense of space and...acreage! Between us we now have dozens of backyards! Michelle has always been interested in botany, so of course she started the obsession. She found a cruet jar in her kitchen that she said was destined to become a terrarium. Katy soon followed suit and found a cute little mushroom-shaped jar. We both instantly
