What Julianna Could See (eBook)

What Julianna Could See

And if she stayed still
Without making a sound
She could see gnomes
Helping plants through the ground.

This radiant picture book was written for Julianna Margulies – the film actor and former star of the hit television series “ER” – when she was six years old. Her father, Paul Margulies, captures the pure openness of a child’s imagination. These reflections on what a small girl sees around her remind us all, young and old, that life’s riches can come to us through our loving attention to the simple and “ordinary.”

The vibrant images by Famke Zonneveld (the illustrator of Living Alphabet) bring this book to life.
