Here are some pictures of the Joan Walsh Anglund Books that I have aquired over time. This all started by wanting to replace the one I had as a child, called A Friend is Someone Who Likes You. Little did I realize then, that I would start to find more of them as I travelled along. I guess it's true that as adults we do try to recapture the things we've lost in youth. Anglund wrote these starting in the late 1960's and did all of her own illustrations.
Growing up, my sister had one of her books and it was the sweetest thing I had ever read... as I grew older I became disturbed at their lack of facial features...lol. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteI have such a strong memory of being in our play area in the attic where we had a little shelf of books. I can still see myself holding the little green book. They bring back very strong memories. I guess that's why I want to own them all. ;)
