"It was born long before I was. The wind blew the leaves from the big maple tree in the woods. They twirled and whirled as they fell to the ground."
Lois Ehlert is one of my favorite children's authors because she combines fiction and non-fiction. Her stories have facts combined with a story that inspire the reader to plant, build, sew, etc. Her bold, bright pictures are generally collage...and the way her words flow are soft and soothing. If you have a small child, check out Lois' work under "E" in the library. There will surely be crafts in the works after your reading.

Putting this on my list for when we go to the library next week. Thanks! Have a great weekend. ☺
Nice to meet you, M! Your blog is clever and original, I look forward to reading more!
I enjoy collage art, so if I had a little one to read to, I'd be checking this one out.
I remember this name, but only barely. You've inspired me to look the books up again, and relive the vivid experience ^_^
