A nice illustration from the girl 
with her new book.

This was a wonderful order.

Every time when I am illustrating a book , a lot of new ideas are coming up.
Then it's so difficult to stop and admit you are ready now.
Drawing a book  is a nice way to express yourself and keep your mind busy.

I want to thank Mrs. Janssen and Mrs. Fekkes for the order.
                   My special thanks goes to Mrs. Ruth Sifrin for her beautiful and inspirational stories.

Thanks to all of you for the perfect cooperation.
