Angela COPE & Snooky: Joséphine Baker & her famous banana costume

Who doesn't remember Joséphine Baker? I go swimming in a pool named after her, and always thought she was French. But no, she was American. Born in St. Louis Missouri.

Thank you Mim. Now my turn at a try with…

Rebecca Guyver: Spot the Banana and more

Can you spot the banana? This page folds up to be a very nice story book. No, I don't think that Rebecca drew the images up side down. It's just the way it turned out on the scanner. Love this idea.…

Lynn Radford: Banana Label Art

I honestly believe that Lynn is on to a new art movement here. It's memorizing. I even tried putting it in my microwave to watch it turn around. "Far Out", as we use to say. But kids, don't try this at home. I'm a trained professional, and the first one on our block to have a…

Katerina Nikoltsou: A Yarn Time

A yarn yarn time ago, there was a young lady in Greece that wished for time to stop.
