How do you feel about spreading a bit of happiness?…

May I Bring a Friend won the Caldecott Medal (an annual prize honouring the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children) in 1965 and is a wonderful book – I shan’t say much more here and now as I suspect I shall do a full-blown post on it in the next couple of weeks, but suffice to say it was a real treat to receive it.
Vanessa knows that our raison d’etre here at Playing by the book is play inspired by the books we read and she very thoughtfully enclosed 2 masks identical to those worn by a set of characters in the book so we’ve been all set up to act out the story – we’ve had lots of fun already!
Having been the lucky recipient of this (almost) random act of kindness it’s now my turn pay it forward. If you would like to receive a surprise gift from Playing by the book…
Just one aside – If you don’t have a blog I’m not sure how you can participate in this game – if you can work out a way to do it, then let me know and I’ll count you in for the draw.
Thanks again to Vanessa for our gift, and for spreading some happiness π I’m looking forward to my chance to spread a bit of joy about too!

I would love to pay something forward. What a great idea.

I’m not trying to join in on the pay it forward–just want to say I am glad you enjoyed the book and that the girls got some fun out of the masks! π
(I have been holding that post on the masks until you received so as not to ruin the surprise.)

Oh please put me in for pay-it-forward!
We’ve done a few craft swaps and I love things like this π
Many thanks

Sounds like fun!
