Thank you for telling us about this! Our girl scout troop is going to send some backpacks. A wonderful project for our troop to participate in.
I am very excited about your enthusiasm. Thank you for doing it with your scout troupe Spread the word! love, Beth
That's good news! And I love Satomi Ichigawa's illustrations, thanks for sharing this book which I didn't know....
I love the Nora books, I collected the whole "set" and made a wooden box in which to store them (like a boxed set where the bindings are showing)and hand-painted them. Nora's Stars and Nora's Duck are my favorites. It will be a gift for my daughter when she is older.
oops, I meant to say that I hand-painted IT (hence, the box they are stored in, not the books!)
I'm going to have to look up Ichikawa's other books! Thanks! Beth
