Though much of this post is about the illustration process, the words had to come first and they highlight changing emotions so well and are a true delight to read. <br /><br />I agree absolutely, Chris - this book is definitely a winner and one that will be forever treasured. I hope it becomes a series!<br /><br />Peter :)Peter Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653515054036432820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12090056.post-30030720924510623352012-09-01T17:58:17.119-07:002012-09-01T17:58:17.119-07:00Thanks, Chris.
