Becky Reyher

"We do not love people because they are beautiful,
but they seem beautiful to us because we love them!"
-an old Russian proverb




























































Did anyone else read this book as a child? It's wonderful.
It's by Becky Rehyer. It's illustrated by Ruth Gannett and was nominated for a Caldecott medal. I asked my friendly neighborhood librarian and voila! A faint memory of a book is now in my hot little hands.

I don't recall reading that, but now I want to check it out of the library. Thanks for the recommendation.
Sorry about the snow. We are finally rid of it here (but don't say that too loudly, that could change). :D

This is one book I don't remember, but I love the older stories!
I think I'll have to look for it, too!
