When I first read aloud Mary Daly's First Timeline to the children, it was the first time I had ever heard of the story of the young Chinese Princess and the cup of tea where the silk strands first unravel revealing themselves... such a captivating story.
Then Mary asked me to illustrate it for wider publication... and I just loved doing the Chinese teacup!
Well, last week at the library, browsing as I always do through the new picture books, I found a Chinese princess and the tale of the discovery of silk!
