 This book made me cry. It's wonderful. I admire the work of Kerascoet. So much.

A beautiful spread. The book is by polish illustrator Maria Dek. Attracted to her work, even though it is not the direction I am headed to I feel nostalgic love and appreciation for this kind of illustration.

Jenny and the Cat Club

God exists!
This book was nearly returned to the library twice, without me having read it, and today I finally got to experience it! I loved it. Such a funny and amusing tale.

Yes, yes, God must exist. The story made me feel very good. Went out and nice things kept happening. Fun conversations, and smiles.
Oh, you can't see the author's name. It is Mary Stolz.
