Doohickie, that is such a lovely story and has got my Sunday off to the best start. I love his naive style of art and I'm so glad he's been able to channel his creativity into something that will give so much pleasure to children.

I love these! Next round of book buying I may consider getting one though I really truly hate buying from Amazon.

What a great story. Thanks for sharing it, and for connecting with your old neighbor.

I too loathe to order from amazon, but when I *have* to I use smile.amazon.com and a portion of the sale goes to a local dog rescue (Potter's Angels).

Yes, I would prefer not to use Amazon, but for several months we weren't receiving any mail at all, due to the effect of coronavirus on our local mail sorting office. This meant Amazon was really the only option. But I use the Smile option to benefit my local cat rescue place.

He's been told that ABC World News Tonight will be airing the segment. It was supposed to be today, but they decided to put it off in favor of a story of the death of Prince Philip.
