Art and Storytelling

How many of you enjoyed the over 200 books of Tomie de Paola when you were a kid, or read them with your kids now? Tomie has a real gift for reaching the hearts of loving children everywhere with his art and storytelling.

I had firsthand experience of seeing just how much kids love his stories. You can read about that over at Snippets and Bibbets, by clicking here.

I grew up with his books and now get to watch my nieces and nephews fall in love with his art and storytelling. Now that's magic!
