“Mama Llama goes away. Llama Llama has to stay.” From “Llama Llama Misses Mama” by Anna Dewdney. I meant to post this in time for back to school, to really twist the knife for all the parents out there (self included), but my lack of organization has spared us all ♥️ ~ #llamallamamissesmama #annadewdney #viking #2009 #backtoschool #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CiS25osOMWV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“And if I choose this pair of shoes I’ll be quite tall.”⁠ From “Dressing Up” by Shelagh McGee. ⁠ I'd completely forgotten about this book, but I was ~*obsessed*~ with it as a kid; I thought the girl's final outfit was the peak of sophistication. ⁠Still kinda do! ~⁠ #dressingup #shelaghmcgee #hutchinsonchikdrensbooks #1987 #081205881X #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb7bh7LORlm/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Everyone knows a crab will only grow as large as the world he lives in, and as big as the heart inside him. You must have a big heart to live in a big world.”⁠ “But they told me I must have a hard heart, not a big heart,” said Grasper. ⁠ “A hard heart will not grow, little one. And,” he continued, “if you’re not careful to let your heart grow on the inside of you, neither will your shell grow around it on the outside of you—no matter how many times you shed it.”⁠ “Then a soft heart isn’t dangerous?” asked Grasper.⁠ “Oh yes, it can be,” he replied, “but it is the only way a crab can really grow.”⁠ From “Grasper” by Paul Owen Lewis 💜 ~⁠ #grasper #paulowenlewis #asoftheart #beyondwordspublishing #1993 #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbvLD8VubL7/?utm_medium=tumblr

The little boy said, “Mother? I’m scared to go into the meadow, because of the lion which is there.” ⁠ From “A Lion In The Meadow” by Margaret Mahy and Jenny Williams.
