I don’t remember being this excited about a book.
I am the biggest fan of Julie Morstad, I have her books and have purchased a few of her prints.
When I first read When I Was Small by Sara O’Leary, my throat got so tight at the end and tears came rolling down. After, I picked up the rest in the series, Where You Came From, and When you were Small. As a mom of boys, I love Henry. Sara and Julie together, capture the heart.
This Is Sadie will not disappoint. I have been following closely, it will be the story book of all storybooks. I saw a mermaid. Eeeep!!!!
With the release of the book just around the corner, Tundra Books has beautiful activities to share. You can find them here.
We had so much fun making ours and we added the little masks to our garland because we liked them so much.
We really cannot wait for this beautiful book, May, come soon.

Isabella Arsenault has a beautiful and delicate style that just draws me to the covers of the books she Illustrates.
A Canadian, she studied at Université du Québec à Montréal , she is has received two Governors General awards for her works.
I love the soft greys and delicate pops of color. Some of her works remind her of Wayne Thiebaud pieces, just soft and delicious.
Our top two favorite books:
Spork
A beautiful tale about being different. As my kids are half, I thought it would be fitting. We just adore the book.
and
Virginia Wolf
A tale of Virgina Wolf and her sister, enough said. A must read.
Isabella brings these books to life, her delicate hand and style make the imagination a very pretty place to visit.
