She notices so many details

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. The social committee at the school sent a list of activities the children could do each day for the teachers. The first suggestion was a picture, preferably a drawing of the teacher. However, my children didn't like that suggestion and decided to draw cheerful pictures.

Inwe chose a flower with "an Eric Carle like sun."

"A what?" I asked.

Inwe cocked her head as she answered, "An Eric Carle like sun. He always starts his books with a sunrise. Haven't you noticed?"

I, in fact, had noticed this, but I allowed Inwe to think that I was deficient in my knowledge of Eric Carle's artwork in his books. I kept my reply simple. "He must like sunrises."

"That a good thought, Mom."
