Hooray for Fish
Lucy Cousins
Candlewick Press (2005)
Spring is a busy time for us (filled with fun, but also the stress of having too much on our plates) and I am eagerly awaiting Steve's Spring break. I feel overwhelmed and writing the blog has taken a back seat to simply getting through the days. Oh yeah, it doesn't help that Mirette has been having night terrors nearly every night, causing severe disruption to all of our sleeping cycles. Arrgh.
Suffice it to say, since I don't have time for a lot of research, I have picked out a short beloved book to share with you all. It's called Hooray for Fish! Lucy Cousins also writes the Maisy series which we adore. I think her gift is simplicity. Through simple prose and child-like illustrations, she is able to get right into the heart of a toddler. Enjoy!
Lucy Cousins lives in England and gets her greatest inspiration from walking around Elementary Schools looking at the art work hanging on the walls.
Here's a video of her talking about how she draws Maisy:
