My daughter Vanessa Roeder illustrated this page for the ABC Children's Book Competition. She was paired with author Sheila O. Lindsay of Houston who wrote the poem Dandelion Snow, a sweet tale about three little girls all dressed for Sunday School who decide to have a little race before church. The three girls stir up dandelion snow as they race back and forth in their backyard, smudging their faces and dresses, before being discovered by Mama. It is a beautiful poem, sure to bring a smile to any face.
The contest begins September 20th, and visitors to the web site can vote once a day for two weeks for their favorite story/illustration. The winning author will get her story published.
I love Vanessa's illustration and hope she will get to do the entire book. I'll send reminders closer to the contest, but if you would like to visit the web site and see the entire poem, along with the other eleven finalists, go to: ttp://www.abcbookcompetition.org/5th_comp/DandelionSnow.html
