Sunflower House Book

I don't remember if I mentioned the sunflower house project that Églantine set up last spring for her late husband's grandchildren and our neighbour's child but it was a fun project for the spring, summer and fall. To help commemorate the events, I, with editing help from Églantine, wrote and printed up a small book for the children which I presented to them this past Christmas. We also printed up books for two other young visitors which they will get soon. Here is what the book looked like:

Ontario Wanderer said...: RD, They are all fairly young for remembering the actual sunflower house. I hope the book will help. It will be a great memory for the adults that helped too.
