Ella Sarah Gets Dressed

Cover via AmazonMargaret Chodos-Irvine received a Caldecott Honor Award Book with "Ella Sarah Gets Dressed."



Ella Sarah isn't like her sister.


Or her mother.


Or her father.


She's like Ella Sarah.

And when it's time to get dressed.


She knows just what to do.



Margaret Chodos -Irvine is the illustrator of Buzz and Apple Pie Fourth of July, both written by Janet S. Wong, and Hello, Arctic! by Theodore Taylor. Buz was named an ABA's Pick of the Lists and a Los Angeles Times Book Review Best Book of the Year. Ms. Chodos-Irvine lives in Seattle, Washington, with her husband and their two daughters, both of whom love to dress up.


I have a new granddaughter now. This is a perfect  picture book with beautiful illustrations and simple text describing a toddler's behavior so accurately. 5 stars!

I also love to sew and quilt and have for many, many years. Are you a seamstress and/or quilter?
Here are a few blogs where I get my inspiration and yes, free pattern ideas!
