The illustration of the rabbit family sitting down to eat an enormous fish is kinda disturbing. But I love it. She places such a lovely amount of silence around everything.<br /><br />I actually don't get sick of reading those books.Colleen Boylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259641832046374224.post-47677419999328683532009-06-14T19:50:39.860+11:002009-06-14T19:50:39.860+11:00I was the Punch...in name if not in presence.I was the Punch...in name if not in presence.Anna Ryan-Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741886679896612577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259641832046374224.post-86565402052866509592009-06-14T18:40:03.817+11:002009-06-14T18:40:03.817+11:00At Kirsty Murray's place.

Depicting and naming this is an act of Poetic Silliness which reinforces the boundaries of the self (I am not Mother, also I am not Nobody). <br /><br />Maybe.<br /><br /><br />I am interested in moons in picture books.
