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 your daughter’s choice of vivid colours and representational drawings … a line to represent the ocean! She has her own style.
I love the simplicity too. Thanks Cheryl.

Love the vivid colours. And despite his vicious-looking teeth, that shark (whale?) has eyebrows that tell me he’s got personality. The red fish disappearing at left … is that what you meant when you said N likes her drawings to suggest the scene continues off the edge of the page?
N and I were just commenting about how much you can change a face by the positioning of the eyebrows. and yes! Exactly what I meant about the edge of the image. She has been doing this for ages.
She has certainly captured the independent nature of fish, i.e. that they can swim in any direction they jolly well choose. Looks like a divine place to snorkel, but for that toothy blue guy…
She will be wearing a snorkel herself very soon, but more about that later.
And that line of water, indicating the surface. Just to be clear that the fish are UNDER it. So pure, these drawings. I love every one.
Pure! That’s the perfect word, Carin.
