Board Book Present
I spotted some blank board books at the art store and thought it would be fun to write a book for my daughter for a Christmas present. It's a sturdy book, but since the pages have a papery surface, rather than the smooth surface most board books have, I thought I'd better make the contents as toddler-proof as possible and used pen and ink. (Can you tell I inked the last page first as a test page?)
Also, happily, it seems my virusy art is salvageable! Hurrah! Thank you Robert for helping us run some scans!

The faces ------ Grandpa has seen them all before. You captured Hazel's many expressions perfectly
A wonderful children's book. Its simplicity is its depth.
Yes colour it and get it to a publisher or self publish for next Christmas when you can do the sequel.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

If you ever decide to print and sell this book, I'll definitely buy it. But if you'd rather keep it as a one-of-a-kind for your daughter, I totally respect that.

Terribly cute, though! :)
I also thought I'd mention I tried a sketch with hands, and I also have a more realistic face up on www.inkennysshoes.blogspot.com now. Hope you can check it out and give me another comment!
Best wishes in all you do!
