Books with author Sara Henderson

I Want to Be a Pig is a delightful compilation of humorous and thoughtful juvenile poems with accompanying drawings. The book was inspired by the author's daughter, who at the age of three announced that she wanted to be a pig when she grew up because they were pink, her favorite color. The book has one hundred and sixteen pages with sixty three poems, many with drawings by the author.

"This is no ordinary pencil," says the cat sitting on the end of nine-year-old Daniel's bed. "It's magic." Everything Daniel draws with his pencil--flying dragons, Octobears, and pizza-loving aliens from the planet Beezo--comes to life. It's pretty awesome until the pencil draws a line between Daniel and his best (and only) friend Annie. Come along with Daniel and his fantastic creatures on this fun-for-the-whole-family journey as he discovers that friendship is the greatest magic of all.

Dazzling in its simplicity, exuberant in its palette, Sara Anderson's landmark board book still bursts with a freshness and energy twenty years after it was first published. It's unique graduated page design encourages the youngest child to discover the joy of color, to see the pages grow in size as the patterns of color appear. Colors shows a clarity and assurance perhaps reminiscent of the most jubilant of Matisse's cut paper collage. This is a book which is entirely in its element in a museum shop, but is most at home on the floor or a lap, being paged through, over and over, by young toddlers.
