There is this great site that has been around for many years, that you probably don't know about - but you should! Wonder-Shirts is a site that offers t-shirts for kids (and adults) featuring artwork by children's illustrators with characters from kids books (natch!). Wonder-Shirts has agreements with some great illustrators, think Mo Willems, Rosemary Wells, Kevin Henkes and more.
What a great gift idea for the kids in your life. A Kevin Henke's Lily book and a Lily t-shirt - perfect! An Elephant and Piggie book and an Elephant and Piggie T-shirt, my five year old would be in heaven. And don't we all have enough plastic toys (I know I do!)? So why not do something a little unique for you next bday party present...if yours is anything like my family, your children probably have 2/3 parties to attend this weekend. So why not order a few t-shirts to have on hand, and head to your local independent book shop to get the matching book and start giving one-of-a kind birthday presents!
