Since it’s the 2nd Friday of the month, Landon and I are here with Episode 11 in our series. For those of you that may be visiting for the first time, here’s a bit about the series. A Great Nephew and a Great Ant Aunt is all about collaboration. I, the great Aunt, team up with Landon, the great nephew, to bring you, our great readers, a-picture-with-a-poem sort of thing. In each of our episodes, I write a poem and Landon illustrates my poem. Landon I have enjoyed this so much that we wanted to share the fun with others. So back in January I started featuring guest collaborators as part of the series. The guests have been amazing and I have guests lined up for many months to come.
I have created a page on my website to view all the episodes of A Great Nephew and A Great Aunt. Click HERE to visit the page and enjoy past episodes.
Now . . .

That is absolutely adorable – both the poem and the art! I am a HUGE (okay, obsessive) tea drinker, so that one is extra special!

This is possibly my favorite episode so far, Penny. LOVE your poem – it hits the sweet spot for me in terms of humor and whimsy – and Landon successfully captures that same sense of delight in his illustration.

I chuckled, too, when I received his illustration via email. He did capture the humor in a way I hadn’t even thought of. I love the camel lips blowing on the tea!

Is so very solitary.

Adorable! I love how the camel is blowing on his (or her) tea to cool it down. Great detail, Landon. Penny — I’m getting ready to take a road trip this weekend. What audio book did I borrow from the library? One of the Jeeves novels, of course.
