And the winner of last Monday's When I Was Small giveaway here on crooked house is Amanda. Congratulations Amanda! (The winner was chosen by randomizer.org.)

When I Was Small Giveaway

Sylvie and I just got the best package in the mail -- two copies of our favourite children's author Sara O'Leary's new book When I Was Small, illustrated by Julie Morstad. It is the latest in their lovely series of books about Henry, which include When You Were Small and Where You Came From. In When I Was Small, it is Henry's mother's turn to talk about the things she did when she was very, very small, including sleeping in a mitten:

This book is just as sweet, charming, and hilarious as the others -- it is the perfect bedtime book. And if you act! fast! you can win a copy. Just leave a comment and your email address below and we will choose a random winner next Monday, January 16th. The book is not yet readily available in the states so if you live there and just can't wait to get your hands on a copy, please do enter. I am happy to send it anywhere in the world.

You can see more pageviews of the book on the Buy Olympia site - Americans can certainly order it from there. And you could always order it from Amazon.ca or Chapters.

There are also more gorgeous images from the book at the publisher, Simply Read 's, blog. Love that daisy for a sunhat!
