Postcard Feature: Bird with Mohawk

The little boys at our house are six years old, seven next month.  They get very excited to help with the Postcards.  At six, they're the same age Anna was when this project began, though their artistic sensibilities differ from hers by a large margin.

This postcard is Jonno's work.  A bird and tree--not such different subject matter as some of Anna's first cards.  But Anna's birds never had such angry faces or such aggressive postures (nor, for that matter, do Jesse's).  And the mohawk?  Well, that's unique to Jonno, too.

This postcard was "lost" in the Spokane, Washington library in January of this year. It returned to us this week.





Dear Bailey, thank you for sending our little bird back to us!  I cannot quite read your age, but you might be interested to know that the creator of this postcard was six years old at the time he made it.
