Shall I Knit You A Hat?

Posted by Trina Rae Thursday, April 28, 2011

I kept finding pictures of this little guy all over the house, and didn’t quite know what to make of it.  But, Franny draws so many pictures throughout each week, I didn’t give it a lot of thought.  Then, I found this picture while volunteering in Franny’s classroom, so I asked her teacher about it.  Not surprisingly, it is a character in one of the books that they read:  Shall I Knit You A Hat?  It’s a Christmas book, but they read it recently because the illustrator, M. Sarah Klise, was coming to visit the school, speak at assemblies, and sign books for the kids.  I was glad I asked, because although I knew she was coming, when I looked up the books on the list, it seemed like they were for older kids and didn’t talk to Franny about it. I hadn’t looked up this particular book.  This  picture—actually a postage stamp—Franny made to put on an oversized thank you letter for her visit.  Mrs. Nelson said that Franny had really enjoyed this book.  Thankfully, I still had time to order a signed copy for Franny.  It came just before she got sick.  Needless to say, it’s been read a number of times this week!  Now, looking at M. Sarah Klise’s pictures of Little Rabbit, Franny’s pictures no longer seem so curious, but very obvious!  I think he’s really quite adorable!
