Michelle My Bell Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I am trying to find a children's book I check out of my library a while ago. It is how a place starts with a few people and grows into a big city. The first page shows a scenic landscape. The next shows a few people living on it and so on until you see how the land developed over many many years into the city or town it is today. Anyone know this book?

Michelle My Bell Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 No, it isn't any of those. I do like those and will keep these in mind however. The book is rather large and the artwork is very detailed. Almost lifelike, but not quite. I am pretty sure that it is done in watercolor.
