I was at the thrift store yesterday and discovered this wonderful little book by Stephanie St. Pierre, who was a childhood friend of Lisa Henson's. It's basically just a Jim biography, nothing we haven't heard before, but it was still a great little read. And at 106 pages I finished it in under an hour.

Has anyone else read this?

Yep, I used to have this book (can't find it now). I bought it in Disney World in the early 90s. I agree, it's a great read, and a nice little primer on the life and career of Jim. I especially like the author's first-hand accounts of hanging with Lisa and meeting Jim.
