I chose to share this image because I feel it is important that children not only read books but that they also have the opportunity to meet authors. The author in this picture is Laura Numeroff. She has written circular stories such as If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Give a Moose a Muffin. She is one of my favorite children's authors who I would love to meet one day. I found this picture intriguing because Ms. Numeroff is in her pajamas in an effort to encourage parents to read to their children at bedtime. Her pajamas incorporate the mouse from her story. I also like the look on her face, she is concentrating and showing an interest in what the child is telling her. It is so important for children to see and hear first hand how an author came to write stories. Who knows which children will be inspired to read or even write stories to publish. I found the picture by searching "Laura Numeroff" in Google Images. This picture is part of the First Book blog.
