Happy Birthday, Barbara Kingsolver! May your special day bloom brighter than the gardens in "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," and may your family serve you something deliciously local—not Congo-level adventurous like in "The Poisonwood Bible," though!With novels that transport us impossibly far yet ground us wholesomely near, your literary harvest keeps giving readers food for thought. You've taught us courage through reluctant missionaries and reminded us that kale can actually be cool. Here's to another year planting ideas and harvesting stories—we can't wait to savor what you'll grow next! Wishing you laughter, fresh tomatoes aplenty, and endless inspiration ahead.
