REMEMBERING TASHA TUDOR

My Daddy gave this poem book to me for my Birthday years ago.

It is one of my favorite books, of course.

I read and reread the verses held within, as you can tell from the very worn binding.

This was my very first poem book.

And just look who's selection of verses it held!

This illustration accompanied the poem "General Store". I memorized this and many

of the others. Check out the little dog eyeing the perched cat;).

One of my very favorites...."The Village Blacksmith" by Longfellow.

Such an inspirational poem.

My *elder* sis, Aunt C, likes this one. "The Hens". Author, Elizabeth Madox Roberts.

Shhhhhhh, can you hear them? I wonder what they are saying? 

Of this illustration I am simply reminded of my Mother's three girls;).

Tasha Tudor was a wonderful artist. I am so very thankful for this little poem book, the only

(material) gift I remember receiving from just my Daddy.

I wish I could sit and read it with him now.

Blessings to Tasha's family as they remember her on this day.
