Oh little Peepsqueak. This picture of you reminds me of something that happened to me when I was little. We were visiting an aunt in Washington. She had a rope that dangled from a tree in her backyard. She also had a big DOG that came running into the yard barking at ME! I jumped on that rope and UP, UP, UP I went! I did not even know I could climb a rope! I just did it! ha ha!
Most of my art comes from my imagination, but it is also from my memories and from my life experiences. All that being said, I think I can still climb a rope!

Title: Toot & Puddle: You are my sunshine
Author and Illustrator: Holly Hobbie
Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for young readers ( September 1999)
Reading Level: 4-8
Theme: friendship, life, experiences, emotions
Toot & Puddle is a series that has just been introduced to me and I must say--I love it!. Toot and Puddle are very close friends, oh and not to forget dear Tulip on this one story. A great series about friendship! The dialogue is perfect and all emotions are noticeable.
Toot & Puddle: You are my sunshine, tells the story about how everyone, no matter how happy they might always be, tend to mope. Moping is normal, not the healthiest thing to do, but is just a part of who you are. Puddle and Tulip try to find ways to help Toot stop mopping around. The illustrations are beautiful and I suggest Toot & Puddle to anyone interested in a new series.
Happy reading!
Synopsis:
It's a glorious day in Woodcock Pocket. The sun is shining, the birds are singing . . . and Toot is moping. So, Puddle makes Toot's favorite dessert at dinnertime, takes him out for a little adventure, and even throws a party, but nothing seems to cheer up his friend. Then a big thunderstorm with lots of mud rocks Woodcock Pocket and changes everything. With light-hearted humor and exquisitely detailed watercolor paintings, Holly Hobbie tells the story of two pigs and their enduring friendship.
Title: the Honest-to-Goodness Truth
Author: Patricia C. McKissack
Illustrator: Giselle Potter
Hardcover: 40 pages
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing (December 2002)
Reading Level: 4-8
Theme: experiences, informative, school, subject matter
Telling the truth isn't always easy; especially for children. They either lie or tell the whole truth and well... it can be embarrassing. Patricia C. McKissack has created a great way of teaching children that telling the truth is the right thing to do, but there is a way to do it. She tells this through Libby. Libby is a little girl who learns that there are ways to tell the truth without hurting someone. Yes, sure, this isn't always easy, but telling the truth is better than lying anyways.
Happy reading!
Synopsis
When Libby gets in trouble for lying to her mother, she resolves to start telling only the truth. She begins by letting everyone know that her best friend, Ruthie Mae, has a hole in her sock. Then she tells the teacher that Willie hasn't done his homework. Now it seems like everyone's mad at her, and Libby can't figure out what she's done wrong. Children will sympathize with Libby as she struggles to figure out that while telling a lie is always wrong, there's a right and a wrong way to tell the truth. Giselle Potter's expressive illustrations perfectly capture this warm, insightful story by acclaimed author Patricia C. McKissack.
Title: My Busy Day
Author: Jill Davis
Illustrator: Jill Kastner
Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Penguin Group ( September 2004)
Reading Level: 4-8
Theme: read-aloud, experiences, life, rhyme
Even children have busy days and this colorful book talks about it through rhyme. The story is from a little girls perspective as she shares with us her busy schedule. From getting up in the morning to finally getting home after a very long day at school and heading to bed.
As adults we are all aware of our busy schedules and children are aware of it too; yet at times, they and we, don't realize that they too have a very busy schedule indeed. Maybe, just maybe, after they read this book they might change their minds.
Now I must say, the illustrations blew me away! The style is just beautiful. The pictures look as if they were done with crayons and I actually passed my finger on one of the pictures, to well, just check. They are incredible and worth looking at!
Enjoy!

I really enjoy collecting quotes. I started as a very young writer by writing down quotes from Reader’s Digest that was delivered to my parent’s household. Here is one by Robert Penn Warren:
“Insofar as writing goes, the writer’s fundamental attempt is to understand the meaning of his own experiences. If he can’t break through to [...]

This picture reminded me of a time when I was about 11 years old. We used to go to a local “pond” and there was a big old oak on the bank which had a rope hanging from it. We would run, jump “tarzan style” onto the rope and swing out over the pond – letting go as we swung out and taking a “flying leap” into the water. One Sunday afternoon, I ran from the car, jumped for the rope – grabbing it with both hands and – BANG !!! My head hit the tree and left a scar which I still have in my temple until this very day. I had not noticed that someone had wrapped the rope around the tree one time – it was not hanging free. As I swung out – I actually flew in a circle, right back into the tree trunk!
oh no! Owch! I can just picture that!!!!! haha!
