This is me, happy as a clam with my crayons. I think someone did a DIY haircut job on the bangs there... :-)
With the news being very bleak, I find myself craving some levity. Plus, I had a few good picture book ideas, so it was really for research (honest, I swear :-) ) that I picked up a stack of picture books. I've been hiding out in the reading nook of my office (if you don't have one, I highly recommend it), curling up with a blanket and a cat, and pretending to be little.
And I re-read my friend Dori Kleber's More-Igami, a book I wish I'd written, it's so beautiful. I'm pretty sure you're never too old to enjoy a good picture book.
I think I'll stay in picture book land, for just a little while longer, at least until the craziness ends.
Do you have a favorite title to share?
I love picture books and feel compelled to buy one or two almost every time I am in a book store (and I don't have children). I recently read a review of More-igami and added to my list. Now I see it here- that means I must get it soon and read it. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI still love doodling and drawing. It is one of the ways I visualize for my writing and it is a way for me to relax.
