BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

This FABulous little book just arrived in the mail late yesterday afternoon (6/21...it's Thursday 6/22 here in Arizona) and I've already been perusing its text and amazing illustrations. While I am familiar with the Poet, William Blake..."To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour..." comes to mind, I'd never heard of the author of this book, nor these two illustrators...at least not that I can remember. ; ) I eSPECIALly LOVE the beautiful little triangle origami bookmark corners that I would have to believe were handmade by your own hands, hyphen8. ; D Thank you SOOO very much for sending this extra special book to me. Fellow BCer erishkigal's WILD THINGS Bookbox arrived on its heals today, and while by theme it would be a perfect selection to add in, I am enchanted by it, so it will be spending some time with me until it resumes its journey. ; )

Very much enjoyed the poetry in this book, but my favorite part was the intricately drawn and colorized illustrations, so I wild released it on a bench at the Children's Hospital next to the Breast Center I went to yesterday with a blank sketch pad, drawing pencil, and pack of colored pencils in a BC release bag for Secretariat's NJABBIC Week 30: A picture of a shoe(s) with or without foot(feet) https://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/23/543292 ...the young man arriving at the door on the left, and the gentleman on the right are both wearing shoes. ; ) Also counts for booklady331's 2017 KTM Release Challenge July - December .https://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/23/543122

HAPPY READING! : )
