This is truly a remarkable family. Their work speaks for itself, and elegantly. The Read To Me Program features many of their books, and has, on lucky occasions, had them visit as guest writer/illustrators. Sandra and Myles in particular have a winning touch with young moms and their babies. Their books and their congenial husband/wife collaborations are exemplary on so many levels. Their _Shades of Black_ and _Read and Rise_ are two that spring to mind. Both are excellent. Keep the books coming! Susan Straub
