i mean yeah, i'd eat them but not after they were dunked in the sea!

this book really understands the ways children think and play. the spinning, the putting on his fathers hat to feel more grownup, the jumping with his shadow.. so cute! and the illustrations and shapes are so lovely. also, obsessed with how his dog willie just wanders the streets go prince

sam could not understand why people thought that writing and making up stories was so hard. if only they would try, they might find out that writing was really lots of fun.

really makes you feel the atmosphere of this daily task, in a way that feels sacred, a time this child will remember all his life.

The Tree in Me by Corinna Luyken
because there is a tree, and a sky, and a sun in me, i can see that there is also a tree in you.
the use of pink in this!! yes! so smudgy and warm and adds to the feeling of connection that this book gives. both an advocate for loving trees and nature and for the awareness that there is so so much wonder in every person, not just yourself!
