Hello, Great Readers of our series! Just In case you haven’t visited before, let me tell you a little about A Great Nephew and A Great Aunt. My great nephew, Landon (a sixth-grader) and I (his great aunt) collaborate. I write a poem which he illustrates. We started this collaboration in the fall of 2014 and have had so much fun with it that we decided to invite others along. Landon and I will continue to have a new episode on the second Friday of each month. The other Fridays are filling up quickly with guests. 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.

Today is the second Friday of January, but you may have noticed the title of this post says Klaire and Penny instead of Landon and Penny. Here’s the deal—Landon has three siblings. A brother, Liam, and twin sisters, Kallie and Klaire. So today Landon has a second Friday off, and Klaire, who just had her seventh birthday, is stepping in. So today is actually A Great Niece and a Great Aunt 🙂 Klaire is an artist like Landon so I’m excited for you to see her work.

Klaire is a sunshiney honey-of-an-artist, isn’t she?

Thanks so much for joining us for today’s episode. Please come back next week for another fabulous guest collaboration.
