| While Susie Sleep - Dagmar Wilson 1953 |
I was so happy to come home with a box of children's books from the local church book sale. They are updating their library and were selling off some true little gems. Many of the books were from the late 1930's and 1940's, illustrations which feel contemporary with much being seen from Illustrators today looking for a retro feel. What is extraordinary is the limited color palette that works so cleverly to move a story from night to morning using grey, yellow, black and white. I have been trying to get my students to use this limitation in a recent fanzine project and am very excited next week to see what they will deliver.
