Here starts a series of recently acquired books I’m thankful to have. First, one that fed a whole series of folksy images that bring joy: “When Children Ruled the World” special edition from Larkspur Press written by #SenaJeterNaslund (illustrations by me). Second, another Larkspur Press book “Mr. Poof’s Discovery” written by Rena and John Jacob Niles with illustrations by @westmeadowpressgallery #WesleyBates. #letterpresslove #bookart #woodengraving #illustration #LarkspurPress #Kentucky https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhrVc-rGfe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
