today is beatrix potter's birthday!i have and love many of her stories but my favourites are jeremy fisher, squirrel nutkin and the one about the porcupine who wears a bonnet.
here are some other things i love about her work:
- the teenie weenie size of the books
- how she dresses frogs in waistcoats
- the important lessons she teaches in her tales (like for example how you should not be lazy if you're a squirrel because an owl will swoop down and take off your tail)
happy birthday bp!
if you were alive i'd invite you over for tea and cupcakes and you could draw the animals i see in my backyard, (mostly raccoons and stray dogs but you're a genius so i'm sure you'd figure something out).
