It's the the vintage feel of the illustrations (as well as the terrific stories) that always get me. Also, those little dresses with cardigans... I also mentioned A Very Young Dancer, by Jill Krementz, which inspired some little walnut boat Christmas ornaments everyone could make after the presentation: http://disdressed.blogspot.com/2008/12/tiny-ships-carrying-loads-of-thanks.html Other books that have inspired me include the original illustrations from the Beverly Cleary Ramona books (again with the cardigans and printed dresses), and so many other books it's impossible to list them all. But I sometimes review or show children's books on my personal blog if you're looking for other ideas: http://disdressed.blogspot.com/ Cheers!

I had no idea that you were a Calvin alum, and in fact, graduated only two years ahead of me! When I excitedly called my husband over to show him the article and the picture of your family, he said he recognized your husband from some classes. So happy and excited to see such great talent emerge from our little liberal arts college - and now I have even a greater interest/fondness for Oliver and S! so wishing I lived closer to NYC and could have attended!
