Postcard feature: Penguin

This is wonderful!

Jonno made this little penguin postcard and we planted it in Portland in April.  It was discovered by a children's drama class, who all added a bit to the front of the card before sending it back!  How fun is this?



Their letter reads:

Hello, friend!  Our drama class at Northwest Children's Theatre found your postcard while reading the book Mr. Tiger Goes Wild.  We play games, eat snack, and act out stories in class.  What do you like to do when it's sunny outside?

Jayden, Iddo, Fia, Adele, Ruby, Maddy and Carrie

Well, young thespians (that's a fancy word for actors!)--we love sunny days!  We love to swim.  The boys are in swimming lessons.  They are twins and are seven years old.  We also like picnics, bike rides, camping, fishing, and playing with our bunnies.  We have popsicles every day, and most days we eat lunch at the park.

We liked hearing about your drama class!  It sounds like fun.  When I was young I had a book called The Old Man and the Tiger that was written like the script of a play. I used to like to read it and do all the voices and actions by myself.  Anna, Jesse, and Jonno have performed with Missoula Children's Theater.  Acting is fun!

Thank you for returning our penguin to us, and for collaborating on the art with Jonno!  Did you know that's what you were doing when you added your drawing to the front?  It's a really, really big word that means making something together!  We love what you helped Jonno make!
