An update on the poem illustration that I was asked to do, I think it is just about finished!

I was so impressed when I found out recently that the poet is only 14 yrs. old! I think she must be an old soul.

| 3 Generations of Fans with Tomie |
In other exciting news, I met one of my favorite children's book author/illustrators yesterday. Tomie dePaola is a favorite of 3 generations in my family. My mother, who is a literacy teacher for elementary age children. Me, of course, and my two children. I am embarrassed to say that I actually
cried while telling him how much I loved his book "The Clown of God." But, I got myself composed enough for this photo with him AND to give him a copy of my print,
"Simple Gifts." Tomie dePaola's work is a simple gift to all those who love his stories & beautiful artwork. I only hope that my work will effect people in a similar way.
