The books that shape us: Interlude

I had one of my own favorite books of childhood open on the studio couch this morning, and while I across the room doing art-related things, Tilly crawled underneath it and fell asleep. (The book was on her blanket, after all -- but I love the fact that she carefully tucked herself below it instead of squashing it. Good dog!) I quietly got my camera out and was able to snap this picture without waking her up. It makes my heart melt.

The book is The Golden Book of Fairy Tales, translated from the French by Marie Ponsot and illustrated by Adrienne S��gur.
