Today I baked twelve (yes – 12!) dozen cookies for our annual Christmas Cookie Exchange Party. It’s a time when we gather together as family and enjoy conversation, music, and goodies. It’s a nice time to just relax and enjoy each other’s company. Here are pictures of the “before” and “after” of my cooking-baking day. My cookies are now ready to go in pretty Christmas bags. Yum. Yum.
And here are some treats for you: A
list of the “The
13 Best Children’s, Illustrated, and Picture Books of 2013” on the online Publishers
Weekly from the source brainpickings.org.
For both writers and illustrators, here’s a video
on the School Library Journal blog by
Caldecott Honor author and illustrator Peter Brown on his creative process.
Happy Holidays!
