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!
Looks like you have an artist on your hands!
