Wise Words From the Author Who Guided Us Up the Mountain
The Daddy Mountain, that is. The author who taught George how to bark, sort-of. The author who taught us how to handle a missing bear. Wise words from one of our stranded-on-a-desert-island faves, Jules Feiffer.
"Artists can color the sky red because they know it is blue." -- Jules Feiffer
