Nancy commented on a previous post I had written about childrens author/illustrator, Tasha Tudor to let me know that she passed away today. She was 92 years old. I will always treasure her books - and pass them along to my daughters. Even though she lived during the modern centuries, her books took us to times long passed - when people appreciated hard work, tradition, family, friends, and nature. In Tudor's books, life moved slowly and there was meaning in the mundane. Children had doll tea parties and puppet shows, adults made quilts and tapped the trees for maple syrup, and the change of the seasons was a celebration for everyone. Tasha's illustrations are enchanting - down to the smallest detail. If you haven't already - take some time to share her books with your children. They are lovely in so many ways.
Her family has set up a memorial website here.
