The First Chapter

When I was in L.A. for the 4th of July holiday, I found some artwork from my childhood. One piece included my very first handmade book that I crafted from Little Twin Star stationery when I was 4-years old.

My mom played piano then and I remember creating my own book of music full of made up notes and song titles (including one about Superman) so I could play along.

I guess I had a penchant for bookbinding all those years ago!

Some other findings were the first drawing I did of a dog at the age of 4. Funny how they kind of look like Emmett!

And something that looks like a prelude to my accordion books!

I also found some illustrations from 6th grade of our weekly vocabulary words. I remember having fun filling in all the squares.
