Summer Learning Giveaway—Autographed Copies of The Forever Dress by Harriet Ziefert
Jyl and Connie won this giveaway, it is now CLOSED
I posted about this wonderful book last week and my girls have become even more attached to it. It accompanies them on car drives, in bed, while at the table, at appointments, to Grandma’s…everywhere! I actually need to pick up another copy so we stop having melt downs when they have to share!
My Forever Dress by Harriet Ziefert and illustrated by Liz Murphy is ADORABLE and I think we love it so much because Abby has a skirt her grandma made her that reminds me so much of the girl’s dress in this book. The illustrations are bright and colorful–just reading the book gives you a pick-me-up for your day. The story is about sewing, economizing, recycling and sharing…and we just love it!

It is quite a clever website; you need to head on over and see!

It has been tweeter and facebooked.
This book looks utterly adorable! I can’t wait to read it. I commented on the “Do You Know A Mom Who Inspires You” for extra entries too. Thank you!

Just tweeted about this gorgeous post too. @KwanStyle My Forever Dress children\’s book. Such a happy cover, sounds like a happy story too. Check it out here http://www.inevergrewup.net
I nominated my sister for the Moms Who Make It Award - she definitely deserves it as the creative genius behind Isabell\’s Umbrella (you have featured her work here in the past)
Thanks!

It looks like an amazing book. I\’m sure my daughter would love it as well.
How special! Our grandma makes special clothes, too!
My mom sewed almost all the dresses I wore growing up. My daughter loves wearing dresses and has even worn a few of my old ones. (Yes, my mom saves everything.) I’m sure the book would be a hit here.

This book sounds perfect for girls of all ages (who says picture books are only for kids?!), but I have a cousin-in-law expecting a girl next month, and I know she\\\’d treasure this.
Thanks for hosting the contest!
