another favorite children’s book of mine “Around The City” (a Macmillan educational book) has so many great Brooklyn illustrations– i’m going to post one now and the rest over the next few weeks. illustrated by: Aurelius Battaglia, Mamoru Funai, David Klein, George Mocniak, and June Otani.

  1. dear lena, i value your daily posts soo greatly that i’m not sure what words to use. i was really enthralled with the brooklyn illustrations so i found a copy of the book. over the weekend i lent it to my friend. she is a reading teacher to kids who need help reading. she knew a perfect young girl who would love to read from this book. thank you for posting about it. and your inspiration inspires me. and others.

  2. hello pretty city,
    thank you so, so much! i’ve been overwhelmed by people’s lovely comments on my blog– this one being at the top of the list! That’s so great you were able to find the book (such an obscure one)- and then lend it to your friend who’s a teacher. Thanks so much for telling me.
