Kathleen O’Grady creates the wondrous world of Patti Kay – luminous with blue-eyed beetles, fireflies, waltzing petunias, Lish the goldfish, calico kittens mewing in falsetto, and orange kangaroos singing “Old King Cole was a merry old soul…..” This is a story of the transform-ative power of a child’s imagination and the role adults can play in the birth of creativity. Children and adults will revel in the story and the brilliant woodcuts by Brona Keenan.
