Pearls
"So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone." From Matilda, by Roald Dahl- "And so I write the way I myself would like the book to be – if I were a child. I write for the child within me." Astrid Lindgren
- “I wish she would just write the story the way I have it in my head! This can’t be happening!” N regarding JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
- “I never know why Mary Poppins is thought of as a children’s book. Indeed I don’t think there are such things. There are simply books and some of them children read.” P.L. Travers

Love.
(But why is that bird eating a phone?)
HeeHee. Kidding. Back to ‘love’. How I adore kid art. The way rain is drawn… because of course that’s how it feels. Big and ploppy. And the worm on the ground to indicate to yutzes like me that the bird is in fact eating a worm that has flown up into the sky. The way they doing during lightning storms.
Yes. Love.
Love love.
So glad you’re doing this series, Kristen.
HA! I can see how it looks like a phone! And how sad, because we see way more phones in a day than we do worms!!
On the other hand, what do I know. Maybe it IS a phone. And that’s another on the ground.
;D
And the bird on the other end of the line has gone missing — or been struck by lightning and blown out of the frame?
Of course. It’s so clear now!
Loving this series of your daughter’s artwork, Kristen!

Great colours: blue rain, yellow lightning, bright red bird, pink and black striped worms (I had to see the one on the ground to know what it was. Those are clearly big juicy delicious ones!). Interesting how the tree has such a massive solid trunk but few leaves. Not much protection there — but maybe with worms like that to be savoured, Mr. Bird doesn’t care.
Great picture. I think the worm didn’t jump up to the bird. The bird found the worm on the ground and carried it up to the tree where it could be savoured without other birds trying to steal it.
And the other worm will be gobbled for dessert. I must ask N the full story. This pic is a couple of years old, and is actually just part of a larger picture including rainboots, raincoats, and rainbows.
