Blueberry Girl - Neil Gaiman

Illustrator: Charles Vess
2009
Rating: 5
Endpapers: Blueberry blue

An interesting blueberry-colored font is used throughout - looks hand-drawn, but isn't.

(Random choice:)
Keep her from spindles and sleeps at sixteen
Let her stay waking and wise
Nightmares at 3 or bad husbands at 30
These will not trouble her eyes.

Words and water color paintings completely cover the pages.

This is an expressive wish for a daughter - newborn - already grown - doesn't matter. I loved it. What a great mother's day gift for my own daughter to give to her daughter!
