Books for Byron and Heidi

My four-year old twin grandchildren visiting regularly and stay over at times, too. These three books are so popular with them and I am sure the back two, classics worldwide, are enjoyed by children all over the world.

Mother Earth and Her Children - A Quilted Fairy Tale is by Sieglinde Schoen Smith who is an award-winning quilter, expert embroiderer, and gifted artist. The quilt is stitched and embroidered by hand and I feel it won Best of Show in Houston one year.

On my trip to the US last year, I was lucky enough to find the book in a bookshop in a museum in Chicago - there was also a wonderful display of antique quilts - so all in all it was a really fun day.

Here are Heidi and Byron clowning around on Australia Day - see their fake tattoos! Boy, they are so full of life this pair, they keep parents, grandparents and all around on their toes.

Have a great day everyone!
