As I read this book tonight – Sharing Time by Elizabeth Verdick – to my 2 year old grandson I noticed lots of pretty fabrics making up the character’s clothing. Some of it even looked familiar. No surprise then at the end of it a credit stated Amy Butler and Denyse Schmidt fabrics (for Westminster Rowan) were used in the illustrations. Cool.
