An annual event in every elementary-school classroom is the taking of the group portrait. Here, the “kids” are made up of buttons and bits of string, cardboard, feathers, grommets, and such, and are a pretty disheveled lot before Glue (late; “stuck in traffic”) arrives to sort everyone out and settle everything down. An imaginative invitation to seeing, to creative crafts, to story-hour performance.
Katherine Tillotson has illustrated many books for children including It's Picture Day Today, When the Library Light Go Out and Penguin and Little Blue, all written by Megan McDonald. Katherine lives on a hill in San Francisco, California, with her husband and two dogs.
