This is Dedicated...
Chalk
Bill Thomson Marshall Cavendish Children, c2010. This book is dedicated with love I love working in our library. Some of the reasons are evident for anyone who is a bookaholic. I love being surrounded by books, buying books and talking about books with our patrons on a daily basis. Today was a really special day. Three of our young readers stepped up to the desk with a book they gave such an enthusiastic review that I just had to stop and read it for myself. It's a wordless book called Chalk, stunningly illustrated by Bill Thomson, an associate professor of illustration at The University of Hartford. My young patrons knew all about Bill as mom had read the fly leaf to them As I flipped through the pages of this story told in pictures, each of the children told me the story in their own words and interpretation. The kids discovered Chalk at the Jonathan Trumbull Library in Lebanon. They're library pros who know that they can use their public library card in most public libraries in Connecticut and they take good advantage of this option. We wondered if Saxton B. owned Chalk too. I should have had more faith that our wonderful Children's Librarian Megan Q., wouldn't have missed this gem. Their obvious love of Chalk and their sharing it with me truly made my day. It's on our Star Cart if you'd like to read it and find out for yourself just what makes Chalk so special.
