Re the post below: just wanted to mention that the CBS Sunday Morning show today had a nice piece on a famous children’s book illustrator, a woman, whose name has just this minute slipped my mind, but if you googled today’s show, you’d know her name the minute it popped up. She said she wanted children to feel safe and happy inside her books.
