Book excerpt: For nearly twenty years, Holly Hobbie fans have been delighted and charmed by the winsome girls in bonnets who grace the famous greeting cards. Now they and others will find additional delight in this book of watercolors. Holly's career as an artist and her life as a mother have been inextricably related. In this book, through personal selection of her paintings, she affectionately chronicles the life of her growing family as it has been reflected over the years in her work. The images and anecdotes of her three children growing up, often funny and endearing, tell a universal story. At the same time, we are given a privileged view of a young woman's gradual development as an artist. She talks about her early unexpected success, the sources of her art, her methods and her aspirations.
