The Sillybillies Go to the Theatre

The Sillybillies Go to the Theatre - written and illustrated by Julie Dawson. When the Sillybillies discover an empty theatre, each gets busy making scenery, props, and costumes and performances—all a bit of a hodgepodge. However, their final play is a giant success. Sillybillies! Whimsical Imaginary children! Each has a bell, a star, and a ribbon for kids to find as they read stories of encouragement. The Sillybillies book series began when Julie discovered her 6 year old cousin, Becca, was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Julie sent her a Sillybillies print and wrote three books of encouragement for her. In The Sillybillies, Julie wants kids to use their imaginations - drawing and painting. She introduces the imaginary kids; "I can see them on my paper, on the ceiling, or the floor. They're my imaginary friends, so I always can make more! And so can you, if you try, make Sillybillies light on any wall, on a door, on any paper white!" 8.5 x 11 inches, 14 pages, ages 3-8 and 21-101. See products section for fun Sillybillies items.
