    Oh, RIP. Thank you for years of enjoyment, first as a child and then, as an aunt and friend/aunt reading these books.

    I did a mural for a baby's room and after finding out her name would be Emily Elizabeth, we included her on the wall :)
    I'm sure the books were very special to her as she grew up :))
