Friday photo fun April 24
Starting the day with some colouring. Enjoying spring flowers. And finishing the day with a picture book.
What If? Anthony Browne
I’m learning to draw. Smallest is learning to read. Last night, while we were reading the wonderful What If…? (Amazon link), I turned over a page and we were looking at the picture, and she read the caption before I even saw it. It’s a great book. I highly recommend it – lots to look…
