I'm happy to hear that they'll be sharing further adventures. And the fact that Holbrook inspired a child to want to be an artist - that's wonderful, too. Thanks for a great interview!

I thought A Visitor for Bear was a delightful book. I really liked it! The recipe looks really good, except the pecans. I'm allergic to those so those are a no go. Love the interview!
