Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

... what more could you want?

I am cross-posting to the picture book thread since this one is just too nice to miss. A knitter/designer friend from Loveland, CO has just published her first picture book (with illustrations by her very talented husband) called Phoebe's Sweater by Joanna Johnson. It is a beautiful story about Phoebe the mouse whose mom is expecting a baby mouse and so can't play with her but can knit her a beautiful new sweater ... it is a lovely book about mother culture and family and extended family ... The pictures are beautiful and soft and just lovely.

But, and here's the really cool part ... Joanna includes patterns for Phoebe's sweater (in real kid sizes) as well as a knitted Phoebe Mouse doll ... how cool is that?


Check it out ... it is very cool!
