These books were printed in the spring of 2018. Tragically, after a struggle with the worst of all c-words, Tara left this world just a couple of years later. I miss her more than I can say. I loved working with her, and I learned lots every day we were together. Tara was a natural teacher, and had many skills worth sharing. We had planned to make a number of these books- this was meant to be the first of a series; Greenspond was planned to be next in the line-up.
It's not often that I keep a piece of my own artwork, but of course, this one is full of special memories, and I have kept one just for me.
