Through the Eyes of an Author

I’ve been very fortunate these last several months to get to know author and illustrator Peter Reynolds, his family, his bookstore The Blue Bunny, and his magicilicious company Fablevision.

I’m writing this on the eve of September 11th. I have a remembrance I want to share about 9/11 from several years ago. But that’s tomorrow’s post. I can’t think of anything more appropriate today than to celebrate both life and life contributions.

Others have aptly told the story I want to share, so I won’t steal their words. The release date on Peter’s new book, Rose’s Garden, is moving up because of Senator Edward Kennedy’s death last month. Peter’s book celebrates the Senator’s mother’s—Rose Kennedy’s—enduring vision and gifts to us all. Peter offers a story that will touch children of all ages on so many levels.

Nicely done, Peter!
