Trina Schart Hyman can make anything look amazing, even a story about a little boy whose dad loses his job and his family is living in "tight times".
Madeleine and I have a theory about children's books that came out in the 70's and 80's. The subject matter is often very "real" and deals with hard real life problems. We wonder if this is a backlash to the books that came out for children earlier, books that only showed a rosy-hued optimistic version of life (not that there's anything wrong with that!).
We are big fans of this woman's outfit- 70's boho amazingness!
