The Friendship Doll

Look what I got in the mail! 


Author's copies of Scholastic book club's version of The Friendship Doll. This was the first cover designed for the book and I really, really love it. Check out Lucy's hair ribbons -- the illustrator painted one green and one blue, a small detail from the book. Impressive!

    Thank you, all. I do think it's very evocative. KV-- I'm eager to hear with Brooklyn and Kiley think of it!
