i ran across a picture book today called flyaway katie. it’s about a little girl who is feeling gray and who sees a painting full of color that she’d rather be in, so she puts on bright clothes, paints her face blue and she jumps into the picture where she stays all day and is much happier. something about this book really spoke to me today. the pictures just buoy my soul!
a long-time happy-making picture book favorite of mine is any of the books about the bunny planet by rosemary wells. they are three lovely stories about little bunnies having crummy days until janet, the queen of the bunny planet comes down and shows them the day that should have been and they are much happier. such cozy books!
