The Golden Picture Book of School Days

 School has started here and the first day was very rainy.  September is usually still a warm month, but it's hard not to long for Fall and the change of leaves and cooler weather.  That's how I always picture the start of school.  This Golden Picture Book has such quintessential back to school pictures (though disappointingly a very homogenous depiction of children- not surprising for a vintage book unfortunately).  I like imagining elementary school is still this simple- learning to hang up your coat, going for a walk in the woods, making things out of clay, story-time and singing songs.
