Reading and writing and resting—oh, my!

(And living our best lives.)

Thanks for the encouragement, Mom!

Another happy reader!

John and I are vendors in Cape Charles, Va. for the 4th of July Festival. A young girl walks up to our table and announces, “I love books, and I’m a very good reader.”

I hand her a copy of You Can’t Judge a Bee by its Color and invite her to read it to me. She proceeds to read the entire story. (Did I mention that she’s only 7 years old?)

She then turns to her mother and states, “Mommy, I need this book.”

Her mother smiles and asks, “Do you folks take a credit card?”

And this is why picture book authors and illustrators do what they do!
