Book of the Day: No Two Alike

No Two Alike
Keith Baker
Beach Lane Books (2011)

Tomorrow I leave for a mom's trip to Aspen, Colorado.  I won't be hob-nobbing with the rich and famous (though last time I was there I did run into Kristen Davis of Sex in the City fame), but hanging with my best friends, one of whom lives there.

I'm suffering from mom's guilt--  What if something happens to me?  What if something happens to her?  What if she feels abandoned?  If I can get this past this, I am so excited for a weekend break!

I wanted to share a short and sweet book that my sister gave Mirette gave for Hanukkah.

No Two Alike is a rhyming story that coveys the message that "no two snowflakes are alike, almost, almost. . . but not quite."  The snowy illustrations are nature-filled, peaceful, and beautiful.

Keith Baker has illustrated many books, including LMNO Peas. He has a great website with another gorgeous introduction:  http://www.keithbakerbooks.com/.  If you click on the book icon, there's a little tutorial on making snowflakes.   Enjoy!
