DAVE THE POTTER: Love This Book

A couple years ago I grabbed about ten picture books off the "New Books" shelf at the library.  One of them was Dave the Potter, written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier.  For those of you with kids and/or grandkids, it's a "gotta-read-it" book.  It's a journey into the human spirit, both a beautiful and an important book for our little ones.  I heard Bryan Collier speak at the SCBWI conference in LA recently.  He cherishes humanity, his young audience, and his craft.  He brought me to tears.
