Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

      This painting is from wonderful photo blog about Carl Larsson (I linked it as the source). You can find many books that feature his artwork on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Carl-Larsson/e/B001JX8RB6/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_pop_1

      I have a couple of his prints framed, and "The Paintings of Carl Larsson" graces my bookshelf, but this sweet painting isn't highlighted in it. I'd never seen this particular one before I found it on the website that I linked in my post - I fell in love with it!
