This post is dedicated to my uncle Pat Sweet who I will always remember for being the source of countless hours of mental and creative stimulation.
When we (my brothers and I) were very young Pat would come and stay in our crazy little house for a few days every year. Every time he would bring with him a few new tricks, amazing stories, Appletons Jamacian Rum, his guitar and a new Richard Scarry book.
My all time favorite is ‘What Do People Do All Day’. I was recently reunited with the timeless Richard Scarry because my eldest brother has two toddlers who love them. His books provide amazing insight into the minds of children, as well as explaining life, people and the world in the simplest and funnest way.
I’m going dig out and dust off the old copies Pat gave us and use them for ideas.
Below is an introduction to the Busy World of Richard Scarry:
