Art Imitating Life


Hand in Hand
by Gracie

I saw this picture lying around and thought it was so funny in concept: Gracie traced her hand on a piece of paper to make a picture of someone tracing a hand on a piece of paper. What random fancy sparked such a picture?

Adam Rex


Family favorite author/illustrator Adam Rex recently added Chicken Nugget Lemon Tooty to the links list on his blog! Wow!

We love his books!
Here is some Adam Rex fan art by the Z-Kids:

Elephant in a Tree
by Lily (from "Tree Ring Circus")



Clown Watching a Boov
by Gracie (from "Tree Ring Circus" and "Smekday")



The Narwhal Gets a Turn on the Zoomobile
by Isaac (From "Pssst!")

Check out Mr. Rex's books! I think he's nicely poised for near-future kid lit dominion.
