Ever wonder what's it's like to be artist ( or how they get their ideas)?
In The Scraps Book, acclaimed children's author/illustrator Lois Ehlert shares how her parents encourage her at an early age to be creative to how she gets ideas for her books. Also included are photos, notes, and illustrations( plus more) from the author herself.
A great read for creative minds of all ages.
