My Little Ella loves bugs. Unfortunately I’ve passed on my arachnophobia, but besides spiders she LOVES BUGS. And Little Gretta is getting in on the love too. Last week I rescued two rolly pollies and a herd of ants from her inquisitive little fingers. Ella has TWO bug catchers and frequently sends small crawlies to their death with her love (I’ve tried to save them, people, I’ve tried!). So comes the inspiration for my Bug Book, which I just sent to Maggie this week. Here’s a sneak peek at one illustration. I wanted it to be a “Pretty” bug book. Is it too “pretty”? I hope not. Bugs aren’t just for boys, you know. And boys can like pretty things, right? Right???
My kids LOVE bugs, dirt, worms, and all that come with them. My son begged me to by him a pinwheel with a butterfly on it. A “pretty” pinwheel. I love this illustration. You’re definitely on to something!

Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
