Our first galette that we made over the weekend! We used Trader Joe's frozen pie crust and sliced yellow peaches (some beautiful organic ones from the farmer's market that my aunt brought us).

Read my post on Honest to Nod today about this lovely trio of books!
walk this world
Walk This World, by Jenny Broom and Lotta Nieminen, is a collection of engaging stylized global scenes. Little hands can lift the flaps on each set of pages to make curious discoveries about the countries featured. There are more than 80 flaps that range from windows and doors to underground spaces. It’s a lovely introduction to the world for young readers.
our animal friends on maple hill farm
Our Animal Friends at Maple Hill Farm was given to us by some good friends. By Alice and Martin Provensen, it is the companion to The Year at Maple Hill Farm. The Provensens take you into the world of the residents of Maple Hill Farm—two dogs, five horses, a pig, some geese, lots of chickens, a few cows, a few goats, several sheep and four special cats. Their personalities and quirks are portrayed through endearing and clever vignettes and illustrations. Anyone who loves animals will love this book.
windblown
In Windblown, by illustrator Édouard Manceau, is about a collection of pieces of paper that travel from page to page, all being claimed by different animals. To whom do the scraps of paper really belong? One of the best parts of the book is the link to your own set of printable scraps of paper that you can use to fashion your own animals or creatures.
