Jon Klassen has had another book appear on this site called “This is Not My Hat” which I loved.  Maybe Klassen has an affinity for stories with hats?  Either way this is a really fun story of two turtles coming across a single hat.  With two of them and only one hat what are they to do?  I love stories that may spur on real organic conversations between parents and thier children.

Leaving the Norwell Library a woman walking towards the building was looking my way.  It was the kind of look that someone gives you when they recognize you but are not sure if they should say something.  Well, I gave a nod and said “How are you?”

After I said that the woman beamed and said “I miss coming to see you!  My son is 20 now!” It’s always nice to hear that people like and remember enjoying my stories.  It’s always interesting to hear that the kids are now all grown up.  I guess that happens after almost 20 years in business.

Thank you goes out to Avery for taking the time to show me that you enjoy laughing along to my stories! It means so much to me when I get notes like this.  Especially when presented with such a fancy bow.
