Gift box ukelele

Here's a version of the shoebox guitar activity (instructions at link) from Sunny. We used a sturdy little giftbox and some paper straws. Auggie had some trouble with the elastic bands so I did that for him, and I cut out the hole with an exacto knife. I think within a year he could tackle this project on his own with safety scissors, but not today. He really loves colouring on black paper so lucky for us we had a black gift box in the closet.

In the city

We just found a re-release of the fantastic book, Book of Cities by Piero Ventura (with the very great art director Grace Clarke).

I love the little details in the drawings, like these sausage dogs (which reminded me of one of our Sunny outtakes).

Colouring page for Sunny

Here is a colouring page from our second book, Sunny.

Sunny afternoon at Dandelion

Judith just sent me this old picture of us at a reading for Sunny at Dandelion in Vancouver. At first I was wondering, "who is that next to Judith?" And then I realized it is me with short hair. Now I have long hair, but a short memory it seems. Hopefully we can do some readings soon.
