Take a Peek at the Book-Shelf
Imagine you're Mary Ann, the White Rabbit's housemaid- sneaking peeks at the books he's got upon the shelf. You don't bother with words...it's the pictures that capture your eye. Neglect your dusting! Take one off the shelf, snuggle in his cozy chair, and make your own stories up. The White Rabbit's calling for you but you're lost in another world. He can get his own gloves!
This blog is dedicated to fantasy picture books, magical pockets of paint and ink. You won't find savory intellectual reviews here--only sweet tasty tidbits of what's on my shelf, and the occassional visitor from public and private libraries.
Recommendations, questions, comments (even book reviews) are always welcome!
Margaret Mahy's The Wind Between the Stars
"One day, when Phoebe was small, her old Granny came in shaking her head and saying,
"The wind's blowing from right between the stars tonight." Little Phoebe stopped playing
and listened to the wind. It sounded big enough to snatch up the hills in its right hand and
the moon in its left, and to carry them away for always...."
Stories love pictures.

Hello Sara, I own the book. Yes, it was a pretty penny. All the books here I own or borrow from the library and chose the pictures I like the most to share. I can see about transcribing it for you.
