A Child's Garden of Verses illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa

I'm home today with a feverish little girl (poor Charlotte).  She's in her fuzzy robe laying on the couch while I feed her toast and warm cups of honey and lemon. 

It's pretty cold outside this morning, so it's just as well that we're snuggled up, taking it easy.  I pulled out our Gyo Fujikawa illustrated version of A Child's Garden of Verses.  I think every house should have a copy of these poems by Robert Louis Stevenson.  They're so classic and wonderful.  I think they'll make for nice soft, cozy reading to Charlotte today.  And as I've mentioned before, Ms. Fujikawa's artwork is some of my favorite.
