Lois Ehlert's Birthday

In honor of Lois Ehlert's birthday on November 9th. 

I grew up in a home where everyone seemed to be making something with their hands. As far back as I can remember, I was always putting things together, cutting, stitching, pasting, or pounding. The feel of the object I made was as important as the look. - Lois Ehlert. 

When you look at her books you will see how this impacted her life.
