So well deserved. Patrick McDonnell is a dream…as an illustrator, writer, and especially as a human. Me…Jane is a perfect collaboration between Mr McDonnell and the famous chimpologist, Jane Goodall.

Hi Mr. McDonnell! First off, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! The students at Littlebrook school love your book and are really amazed by your use of various art techniques. I also shared your book, The Gift of Nothing, and shared your Mutts website. I’m wondering if you would be interested in visiting our wonderful, eco- friendly school. We would love to meet you and have you talk about your work with our students. Please let me know if this is something that you would be interested in doing, and what you would charge. I look forward to hearing from you! Theresa Cross – School Librarian
