My husband gave it to me, to celebrate
the release next week of BLUE CHICKEN!

Suggested Reading, Picture Books About Purses:

Linda, you are right, I should be extra nice to him. Even though my kids are horrified by the thought of me leaving the house with it. But I think it’s perfect for school visits!
Amber, he got it at a shop here in New Haven.

I love it! And you should absolutely leave the house with it – it’s a great talking point. When people ask you where you go tit, you can say that it was a gift to celebrate the launch of your new book, and then people will ask about your book, etc., etc.
