This is my dad and I, circa 1979. Happy Father's Day, Dad!My Dad has always been wonderfully supportive of my creative life. Here's a little project we worked on together when I was about three or four. It's entitled "The Dog, Cat, Cow, Horse, and Bird Book." I cut out the pictures and told him the story; he wrote it down. I had to laugh when I opened it back up today, because I can see some parallels to my Gocco work!
Some sample pages:
I think we must have seen a dead bird the day we wrote this, because it seems to be a sad running theme?
I'm so lucky to have a father who enjoyed creating together from an early age. Thanks, Dad. I love you.

What a beautiful post. Your dad sure sounds like a great guy :)
That is so cute! And I have to say, there was something about 1979, but my dad had that exact same look - mustache and all! *lol*
Awww...loved looking at your book. My husband has a lot of stuff from his childhood and it's great to look back at it. Some of the stuff he said is too funny.
This is so completely sweet! What a precious thing to have held on to!
