Well, the Easter baskets are out and ready to be discovered… lots of fun things like play doh, construction paper & google-y eyes! I was one tired bunny after all that 'arranging' and was happily heading to bed, when I thought, well… I'll just go harvest my strawberries *really quick* on my "farm" over at facebook… something that I have become increasingly obsessed er, um… fond of doing. Yeah, I know it's not a REAL farm.. and I am NOT {despite my longing to be} a REAL farmer… but lets try to stay focused here..
That {harvesting my strawberries} was about 3 hours ago…
and…I think children's book illustrators are a very odd and wonderful group of people.. they are a strange & extra-ordinary bunch.. and it comforts me a great deal to see them connecting & making little movies like the ones Mr.Krosoczka makes. He astounds me.. so many illustrators do… they've got good stories and deep roots.. They are solitary but they need people desperately… they need people, but can only be with them in bursts… They see things that others miss and are passionate down to their core… and one day, someday… I hope to join them. Thank you Mr. Krosoczka for sharing your humor & talent… you are so lovely…on so many levels.
Happy Easter everyone! Make it a good one!
