The cover of the book ‘Roxaboxen’ by Alice McLerran.

A break from my reading for family reading day. ‘Roxaboxen’ is my own #1 childhood favorite. It was the first book ordered when I was pregnant with the twins. Beautiful story. Stunning illustrations. 15/10.

I loved learning about her journey to becoming a picture book illustrator and how she broke all the rules (and also was told by an editor that she lacked color sense)!
