I recently received this package of Happy Mail! Who wouldn't enjoy a pair of aloe infused warm socks...especially after a winter we have had? But what caught my eye, after the cool Lettering Tips book (I am always building my library of calligraphy!), was the little children's book. I am an incurable book hound. I collect out-of-print children's books...but this particular book had added significance!
Look! It is a postal themed Peter Rabbit book by Beatrix Potter and with Beatrix Potter's own dear illustrations. It has miniature letters in tiny envelopes on each page for a total of 14 little letters. So adorable! What a wonderful way to introduce children into the love of letter writing.
Here is one of the pages. Oh. What a treasure. Be sure to pick up a copy of this dear little book and give it to a "little person". We need to inspire the next generation too.
Write Letters,
Send Happy Mail
Read Postal Themed books,
and Write your letters often!

What a wonderful book :D The book looks very lovely.
ReplyDeleteIn Germany we have a similar style book. It's ~Letters from Felix ^__^
I wonder how many younger people hand write letters. Some education system is removing penmanship, mostly crusive.
ReplyDeleteI belong to a few pen pal groups and notice there some younger people looking for pen pals. But it got me wondering if there letters are type.
