Look what I got in the mail! 

Author’s copies of Scholastic book club’s version of The Friendship Doll. This was the first cover designed for the book and I really, really love it. Check out Lucy’s hair ribbons — the illustrator painted one green and one blue, a small detail from the book. Impressive!
