A Delightful Author - Joan Walsh Anglund

Today for Book 'em Sunday we are doing Joan Walsh Anglund.
Her first book, A Friend is Someone Who Likes You, was published in 1958 and she has been going strong ever since.

The books feature round faced characters that are just delightful. The drawings are so well done and the attention to details is amazing. The little captions are sweet and kind.

You can also find prints and original art. With over 90 books to her name, you have a lot to choose from.

I own three of her books. Two are first editions and one is newer (1998). I prefer the older editions and these seem to be harder to find. But you can still purchase quite a few of her titles new.

She is next in line for collecting all of the titles. I need to finish Betty MacDonald and then I am on my way. I have these sitting right by my computer and whenever I need a little pick me up, I grab one and instantly feel better.

I hope you will go out and buy one of these cute little books. I guarantee you will feel wonderful with your purchase.
