i came upon the year i didn't go to school by giselle potter in a discount bookstore one day and snatched it up immediately. not only was i enamored with the whimsical drawing style, i was totally in love with the story. it is based on the author's true experience as a child, touring in europe with her family puppet theater, the mystic paper beasts. if you read the author's bio (linked to her name above), you'll see that she had some remarkable bohemian parents and a somewhat non-traditional childhood. that a beautiful book makes.
