Gillian Johnson’s artwork is quite rec-
ognizable once you have seen any of her
children’s books. Her first book Sara No
Hair set the tone. To say that her work is
whimsical is an understatement. She can
set the tone of her characters without
words, but that does not mean that her
words do not convey a precise message.
This story gives you the magic of being
on the beach and digging a huge hole, lead-
ing to where?
My Sister Gracie is about two dogs.
