Written and Drawn by Henrietta
by Liniers (Author)
Reading books is fun . . . but what about making them?
Armed with new colored pencils she got from her mom and accompanied by her talking cat Fellini, Henrietta's ready to try her hand at making a book of her own. Peek over Henrietta's shoulder as she scribbles out the story of a brave young girl, a three-headed monster, and an impossibly wide world of adventure. Whether read aloud to a toddler or discovered by a young reader, Liniers' celebration of the creative process is sure to make everyone want to bring out their pencils.
