Congratulations!

Hi Sara

Thank you for commenting on my blog.. it gave me a little thrill to see that you had posted a comment!

Has no one taken you up on your kind offer? My small people love this book and still stop and ask me out of the blue what they did when they were small (and I have to come up with something witty at a moment's notice).

Do you have any idea if you will be reprinting anytime soon? I had started buying When You Were Small for gifts, and am sad to see I can't find it anymore.

When I was small, I lived in the country and found the sound of farm auctioneers very perplexing. I could never understand what they were saying, or understand how anyone else understood.

This is notable because I gradually became enlightened about most things that had perplexed me as a child, but not this. When I hear the sound of a farm auctioneer (which, granted, is not very often), I am immediately taken back when I was small, when the whole wide world is a fascinatingly incomprehensible babble.

My small person currently likes "Where You Came From" (she's looking at the pictures on your website and recognizes them from the book), Winnie the Pooh, and anything by Richard Scarry.

One small thing I found recently was a tiny spiral shell on the floor of my yoga studio.

We love When You Were Small at our house!

I am currently expecting a very small baby (due sometime next month), and while I know we will indeed marvel at what a small person it is after the birth, right now it feels somewhat ENORMOUS.

My small person loves books. And I love giving her beautiful books, which yours is.

I'm enjoying this and think I will let it run for a few days before closing comments.
Brooke, just read about your baby being in NICU ... have spent too much time in children's hospitals myself and know the utter joy of walking out that door with your child after the nights that you feared you never might. If you send me an address, I'd like to give you a copy of the baby book - Where You Came From. The new edition of WYWS is at the printers now (thanks for asking). When I know a date I will post it here.
Kerry, love the notion of that auctioneer voice blaring away - a bit like the adults from the old Peanuts cartoons (which we've been watching lately.)
Melissa, congratulations on your impending arrival. Diane, thank you. Compliments are always welcome!
Holly, that's lovely about the shell ... could you hear a tiny little sea inside?

Hi Sara.. I love your books even though my small persons are all grown up.. Time has passed so quickly since I was a small person.
One day when I was one I was visiting my Gramp. There was a beautiful rainbow and he told me (as the Irish do) to quickly find the end of it and I would find a pot of gold.. After stumbling over ant hills and barbed wire fences I found my pot of gold..
It was a place where they put a pile of things like bottles and such. There I found several of my Gram's broken china cups!! I thought that I had truly found my treaure! The funny thing is that I still find myself looking for the same kind of treasures..
