Mattie Grows a Garden

Adam and I were thrilled to receive Valentine's Day artwork from the kids. Particularly impressive was the book Zess wrote and illustrated called Mattie Grows a Garden. Zara reports that Zess wrote the entire thing herself, pecking at the keyboard and asking her parents how to spell words. Zess even had her dad take the illustrated book to his office to make color copies for everyone. That's right, we received a color copy. The copies were so good, we were under the impression that Zess wrote a book just for us. I know, pretty narcissistic of us to think so. Anyhow, the book's pretty engaging, there are plants, seeds, kites and a girl name Mattie. What more could you want?
