On a warm summer evening, a group of friends spoke of their children who were about to leave home for college. The friends, all mothers, wondered aloud...what did we teach them, what did we tell them, did we tell them the things they will need to know?
And so were planted the seeds that would become Did I Tell You?
Elizabeth Knapp, artist, printmaker, writer and gardener, lives in the Central Valley of California where summers are blazing hot and winters cold and foggy. Her home and studio are surrounded by a tangled garden of roses, herbs and flowers...the same flowers that found their way onto the pages of her books.
The books were inspired by those who wondered, but they were written for the three daughters who grew up in the garden.
