Will and Tomie are creating a lullaby for the Strega Nona Treasury which will be published during Fall 2015. Jessica, Fred and Chelsea joined Will today at Tomie's studio to perform the lullaby for Tomie.
The lullaby will eventually be recorded. The recording will accompany the book.

Fiona and Jessica were in New England visiting colleges, and stopped to visit Tomie as they traveled from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to Brown University in Rhode Island.
Tomie had met them just a few days earlier at a memorial service for his godmother, cousin and mentor, Kathryn "Fuffy" Abbe, on Long Island. Fuffy had been a Quaker, so the service was held in a wonderful Quaker Friends meeting house in Jericho, New York. It was an emotional and beautiful remembrance service for Fuffy.
Jessica, Fiona and Jessica's sister, Jenny, came east to represent the West Coast Abbes at the memorial. Jessica is co-producer with her husband, Toby McLeod, of the Sacred Land Film Project.

Marikka Tamura came to visit to work with Tomie on the design for a Fall 2015 book - a Strega Nona treasury. (2015 will be the Year of Strega Nona in celebration of the 40th anniversary of STREGA NONA: AN ORIGINAL TALE.) Her college classmates, and New Hampshire residents, Kathy and Ellen, met Marikka today at Tomie's. The three of them left for a girls' weekend at a New England resort.
