Perhaps I should try to track it down through KALIMATS connection with Quarto Kids Books. Must have been very different living in Sharjah Sharon. How long ago? The city is spreading right into the desert with incredible schools and universities down long boulevards.

It looks familiar to me. Perhaps it's real or perhaps it's his imagination. I don' t know because I can't read the words.. But he creates a home with a roof rather like his 'snail' backpack where he plans the party on neutral grounds half way between his parents' homes and hopes they'll come. And then there is the knock on the door. And we all know how exciting it is when we hear that knock and the guests arrive. <br /><br />Perhaps I'll have to add this addendum to my blog with the appropriate illustration! <br />Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-71266163485245191632016-10-02T16:15:44.578+01:002016-10-02T16:15:44.578+01:00That book sounds really special, Dianne - and than...That book sounds really special, Dianne - and thanks for the link to the 2016 IBBY Conference.
