Memories

Recently, I pulled out my three favorite picture books from childhood:  Never Tease a Weasel, Jean Conder Soule and Denman Hampson, Yurtle the Turtle and Other Stories, Dr. Seuss, and Star Flower, Jim Kelly .  Gabriella loves reading them and at night I often find them on her bedroom floor.  The one she enjoys the most is Star Flower by Jim Kelly.  It's a sweet story about seasons, friendship, and love.  Gabriella is also drawn to the illustrations, just as I was as a child.  The first three images below are the covers from each of these books and the images that follow are from Star Flower.
