Lucius and His Collection of Unusual Things
This month's award goes to a charming little book that my wife wrote, my son designed, and I published - a true family affair!
This is a delightful tale of a man whose life has been devoted to collecting "things." His house is filled with an assortment of items, some strange, some unusual, some fanciful.
Robert Holton, a renowned Bayfield, Wisconsin artist, brought this story to life with his wonderful illustrations which capture in four-color brilliance Lucius' amazing world.
But the book, besides being a whimsical tale of a man and his collection of things, is at heart a challenge to youngsters to pursue their dreams, to follow their passions wherever they may lead. It encourages children to look inside to discover what it is that transforms existence into living.
