I am SO pleased to see Curious George inspiring young people to CREATE! As you know, I am a HUGE fan of your bookshop.... for a few reasons. 1) I lived and worked in Harvard Square from 1983 to 1997. 2) You do a marvelous job selling my books - The Dot, Ish, Judy Moody, Someday and others 3) my mission is to get young and old alike to write, draw, paint - make their mark! and 4) I ALSO own an independent bookshop in Dedham Square, MA called The Blue Bunny. Another animal inspired indie bookshop!
Thanks so much for your comment. We're HUGE fans of yours, too! We'll be posting the winners on the blog as soon as the contest ends, so you can see the fruits of the kids' creative labors! Also, your blog is awesome, we're going to start following it for sure.
Hooray for indies!
