One of my favorite authors and illustrators of all time is
Patrick McDonnell. He draws and writes the
Mutts comic strip and also
childrens books. His books are magical. That's the best way I know how to describe them. The drawings and words are works of art and I just adore every one more than the other.
In today's mail was a package from Amazon of the latest Patrick McDonnell
children's book called
Me...Jane about the childhood of Jane Goodall.
As always, it is magical. Simple words, each one filled with meaning. Beautiful art that makes the heart full.
I am biased because I admire Dr. Goodall and her life's work but I wholeheartedly recommend that you
pick it up at your local bookstore for your favorite
child person.
