Inspired By Anarres

Left to Right: Tomie, Sarah, Anarres, Lin

Tomie and Lin were autographing their new book, LITTLE POEMS FOR TINY EARS, poems by Lin Oliver, at the SCBWI conference in New York City when Sarah and her daughter, Anarres, stopped to visit. Anarres, Lin's granddaughter, is the inspiration for the poems in LITTLE POEMS FOR TINY EARS. Anarres, in this photograph, is looking at herself in the book.

The next Anarres-inspired poetry book is scheduled for 2016.

Gabriel and his mother, Carrie, came to visit Tomie this afternoon. Gabriel is working on a Power Point presentation about Tomie for his fourth grade class. He had some questions he wanted to ask Tomie. (We could have asked Gabriel, "How do you make a Power Point presentation?")
