Tribute: CHARLOTTE'S WEB - Book Cover

March 8, 2018

"CHARLOTTE'S WEB" by E. B. White - Book Cover

My favorite place to sift through books is- and always has been- in the children's book section of any library or bookstore I stumble into. Last summer my sweet mother started re-reading E. B. White's classic story of Charlotte's Web aloud to my family (my dad, my brother and I) Other than be the luckiest to have that sort of tradition with my family still going on - especially in this digital day and age. I have fallen, once again for Wilbur and Mr. White's world.

Originally published in 1952 by Harper & Row (now Harper Collins) It is still just as sweet, enduring, timeless, and beloved today.

This book cover is my tribute to the talented author and his immortal characters.
