Lauri, adding the authors and illustrators adds a great level to the stories and pictures. Since reading joins the author/illustrator to the reader’s experience, new insight can be gleaned from the thoughts behind the ideas. GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR BLOG!

I remembered the name of that illustrator – Trina Hyman Schart. I hope I spelled it right. I think her illustrations are mystical, magical, and works of art. Her fairytale illustrations are specially beautiful. See you soon.

Thank you Pat. I’ll be sure to look for some of illustrator Trina Hyman Schart’s books at the library. I’m intrigued.
