Elephant and Gracie read Tomi Ungerer
It was my introduction to Ungerer’s work by Sendak…
that lit the spark…
that kindled the fire…
that changed my course…
and made me see…
a life and career that I could build.
…to get the story and for links to the Far out isn’t Far Enough Tomi film…tcp

Warm wishes for the new year….Elephant, Gracie and tcp
Elephant and Gracie have been busy at bookstores.
They took a break in Boston to visit the Institute of Contemporary Art.
What did they see?
Elephant paintings by Amy Sillman!
Sooooo very cool….tcp
Elephant and Gracie’s books have arrived! They go on sale tomorrow…but they couldn’t wait to check out the box at their local independent bookstore!….tcp
PS…We’ll be visiting bookstores…visit the Event’s page on my website to see if we’ll be in your area!…
Elephant thinking…
Elephant’s Big day…October 22nd…is just one week away.
Gracie told him “It’s time to get on the ball”
…so he did.
The original idea for ELEPHANT’S STORY began with a call from a librarian…(see link)

It makes perfect sense to show and share my process…from sketches to press sheets..in the cases at the Brooks Memorial Library.
The Brooks Memorial Library has filled these cases with artwork from children’s book illustrators for…I’m not sure how many years…but it is a great opportunity to see how different illustrators (and authors) approach the task of creating a picture book.
Elephant and Gracie will be in the cases through the end of October…I’m not sure who is showing next…you’ll have to go to the library and find out….tcp
PS…If you get a chance to see the show….don’t forget to go into the stacks…and check out their books!
