We Know Books. Books Are All We Do.

WELCOME LEE HARPER Just in time for the Winter season, comes this wonderfully told and beautifully illustrated story of the magic of Winter.  On a frosty winter's morning, Pa and his boys wake up to discover that a great storm the night before has left the world a winter wonderland. Harper captures the magic of the first snow and the joy of a winter's day. ABOUT THE AUTHOR IN HIS OWN WORDS Before I had the manual dexterity to draw I liked to entertain people with my Groucho Marx impersonation. Once I was old enough to control how a pencil makes marks on a piece of paper, I diverted my creative energy from Groucho impersonating to drawing. I always loved to draw. When I was a second grader my best friend's dad used to bring home piles of manila paper from his work and we would spend hours just doodling. We drew crazy cars, monsters, fighting machines, goofy people...that kind of stuff. In the fifth grade I grew more sophisticated and had my first experience illustrating. I illustrated a book report on James Fenimore Cooper's THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Although it didn't quite come out as well as N.C. Wyeth's version, I was very proud when my teacher decided that it was of high enough artistic merit to be passed around for the entire class to see! That really inspired me.
