I've put them both on reserve at the library--can't wait to read them.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Lauralaurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418123.post-78497585130916802492009-09-01T13:09:00.562-05:002009-09-01T13:09:00.562-05:00Dear Esme,
Happy to find our book, It's Pictu...Dear Esme,<br /><br />Happy to find our book, It's Picture Day Today, on your site!<br /><br />The seed for the story was planted on an afternoon that Megan spent with her three-year-old niece. They sat together at a kitchen table with paper, buttons, pom-poms, sequins and all manner of things spread out in front of them. <br /><br />The little girl had never been introduced to glue. Imagine her delight when gradually, bit by bit, a clown emerged!<br /><br />I like to think that this new book is a metaphor for all of us. We each put ourselves together, bit by bit, in surprising and totally <br />unique ways.<br /> <br />Thank you for the review!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Katherine TillotsonKatherine Tillotsonhttp://www.katherinetillotson.comnoreply@blogger.com
