Grandpa and Grandma lu wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
Nina Laden visited our school and we invited her back to visit again because she understands children. When she visits she teaches them how to draw! During an illustrator visit the students become absolutely quiet and completely focused as they watch illustrations appear under the artist's hand. Illustrators always request a white board or a large drawing pad so they can demonstrate and the children love to watch. But Ms. Laden asks the students to sit on the floor, bring a pencil and paper, and she teaches them to draw a dog. Their creations are fabulous!
In honor of Valentine's Day here are two of her books. The Night I Followed the Dog is a smile for grown ups and children.
Romeow and Drooliet is a clever take on the famous tale.
