I had so much fun meeting young talented artist Emily (who loves to draw dragons – how fun is that!) and her wonderful and super smart and nice cousins Kaede, Quinn and Isaac, and their mothers. Emily is very much the artist and is eager to learn new things. I’m so glad that each of them picked one of my children’s books, because when I was their age books always meant so much to me. A super special memory for me was watching them share and read Inca Dink, The Great Houndini and This Little Puppy. We talked crafts like the feather pen project and had a lot of fun together. Emily is just starting to write and illustrate her own children’s book – I think that’s very impressive! That’s way beyond where I was at her age! Here’s a photo of Quinn, Kaede, Emily and me that one of their parents (super nice Mom Melody) sent to me. I can’t wait to see Emily’s progress on her dragons and all the pretty colors they all add to their Casper the Cockatoo coloring book!
Fun and Creative Quinn, Kaede and Emily (and Me!)
That’s two weeks in a row that I’ve met some of the nicest and most talented young artists and their very wonderful families! It’s such a treat meeting such nice people!
Many thanks to Mom Melody for sending this pretty picture to me and cheery hello to Mom Michele too 🙂
