649-650 A Lesson from Dr. Seuss

649. SOLD Anemone and Starfish

650.SOLD Loggerhead

My name is Deborah Davidson and I am a Japan-based translator and Etegami artist. Etegami is a traditional Japanese postcard art that combines drawings with words-- in this case, the accompanying words are a quote from Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories by Dr. Seuss. Each of my Etegami is a hand-painted original on a soft washi postcard (approx 4" x 6").

To learn more about Etegami go to my Etegami blog: http://etegamibydosankodebbie.blogspot.com

Each card is available for a $10 donation. See details at right.


At the heart of this effort is a group of children's book illustrators. Dr. Seuss looms large over our world. His life was spent teaching children in ways that were so fun and silly- it never felt like teaching - so the lessons went straight to the heart. Deb's cards are a wonderful gift and reminder of what we learned as kids from Dr. Seuss - give voice to those who have none. "I am the Lorax , I speak for the trees" -Kelly
