Snow and Rose

Today I read a darling little chapter book my one of my favorite artists Emily Winfield Martin called,
 "Snow and Rose".


 It was such a sweet tale, and I ate it up in just an hour or two. 
I grew up reading Emily Winfield Martin's beautifully illustrated picture books and playing with her super cute paper doll primer.
 And I remember reading her first chapter book 
"Oddfellow's Orphanage" and how I ate that story right up too.
 I think the reason why I love her art so much is because I see myself in the little girls she paints and writes about.
 In every one of her picture books I can find at least one little girl who looks just like me.


 These two young women remind me of me and Jane.
