A Day Of Signs And Wonders

A Day Of Signs And Wonders | Kit Pearson

pick

An imagined day in the life of 9-year-old Emily Carr, who grew up to be Canada's best-known female artist. 1881 in Victoria, BC; friendship between two children dealing with difficult circumstances. It's a quiet story for children ages 8-12. š‡Øš‡¦

Dragon When I first moved to Victoria, I knew an elderly gentleman who could remember seeing Emily Carr and her monkey. 7y

Lindy @Dragon Wow! She died in 1945, but I don't know if she still had a monkey then. 7y

Dragon Yes he was a child when he saw her and it was back in 2000 that he told me the story , I guess she was a bit eccentric. Who knows if he was remembering clearly. 7y

"Father wants us to only read stories that teach us to be good," said Emily. "He thinks fairy tales are too fanciful, but that's why I love themā€”they're full of magic.

LeahBergen Wow. š† 7y

Lindy @LeahBergen Don't you think this looks like an Alice in Wonderland colouring book, not something from Grimms fairy tales? (Image from the Internet) (edited) 7y

LeahBergen @Lindy Totally. And I'm glad that you clarified that you don't own it! š‚ 7y
