I particularly love the full-colour versions more than the monochromatic ones. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-33484984223329725092015-10-26T19:23:38.892-04:002015-10-26T19:23:38.892-04:00That's funny.

Another teacher came in and when I tried to show it to her, she backed right away from it. I tried to convince her to try it, but she was having none of it. I enjoyed reading A Handful of Stars this summer.
