I recently finished illustrating a new storybook published by WECAN (Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America), now available from their bookshop. The stories, rhythmically told, with opportunities for movement and gesture, by longtime teacher and therapist Wendalyn von Meyenfeldt, are suitable for anyone working with young children.
The sound of squabbling drew me to the window.

The best of all places to begin a Paris sojourn: on a bench in the Jardin du Luxembourg. (But maybe without suitcases.)
For June, a poem from As You Like It, Act II, Scene V.
Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird’s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.
Who doth ambition shun,
And loves to live i’ the sun,
Seeking the food he eats,
And pleas’d with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.
—William Shakespeare
