Great to see we are not the only ones who do this. The book sounds like it is a good read and tells us how life really is warts and all.

It's great that you read the same book as your granddaughter, makes a strong link between the two of you. Seems a very strong book to ask children to read, I wonder how she related to it. As someone who not long ago had a cancer op I think it is clearly a book I would avoid just now, though I've just had encouraging news from my latest scan.<br />Your artwork is inspired, so simple, but it gets the idea and feeling of the book across. I enjoyed your post.Jezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793736166062711430noreply@blogger.com
