This book ranks as one of my favorite picture books of all time. Today I re-read a book that I have loved for years, KNOTS ON A COUNTING ROPE by Bill Martin Jr, and John Archambault, illustrated by Ted Rand (who did the wonderful illustrations for the book I read yesterday). So you can get the rockstar postcard print!ĭonna and Marcie, options for your little notebooks are coming tomorrow! Email me your address people,(yeah, everyone who’s been reading along!) Let’s look at the bookshelf now: Filling out nicely, don’t you think? Well, if not tomorrow, at least before Friday.
Go with your story, even if the two main characters are a house and some trees.A house can be a main character as long as interesting things are going on around it.there are many ways to illustrate a house.it just seems magical, but in a kind of magic-that-could-really-happen-way.the story is unique and simple and, no pun intending, sort of uplifting 🙂.Love the textured look of the illustrations too!.the illustrations are from so many different angles.I adore the squirrel! One cool view of the house The house and trees during a storm! In one sentence: A little house, around which trees are NOT allowed to grow, gets embraced by them in its later life.
(ok, you may not think so, but from the POV of the house?)
So today I’m doing one of the books he illustrated.Ĭheck it out! Singe Singe held up by “House held up by trees” I met him at Hicklebee’s last year for Extra Yarn,Īnd over the summer at the SCBWI LA conference.Īnd I’m glad to be hearing him talk again. So, I’m meeting Jon Klassen today….again.
