Do you suppose the baby in the stroller is forth or fifth generation from her mature family member? This family from Ukraine walked by my house most everyday for a long time but by the time I’d thought to make the picture and finished it I saw them no more. I was disappointed I couldn’t show them the drawing, perhaps they’d moved.
The sketch is drawn in Crayola Crayolas. Crayons remind me of kids- kids remind me of family- and that’s what all of my children’s books are about. I do believe in the heavens when a person stands up and proudly says, “I am Jane Austen!” then another says, “I am Napoleon!” then a third stands to say, “I am a mother!” It’s then that everyone will stand up and cheer!
Buy good and interesting kids books and when your kids are “too big” for them leave them cracked open standing up side ways on the shelf or table and when the kids are corrected because of mischief or discouraged, scared, or rebellious they’ll see the books and feel and remember the bonds of family. Books shared together are a life- long gluing agents.
