Long before I had kids I was collecting the award-wining, colorfully illustrated, and whimsically written books of Maira Kalman. If you know Maira you love her work. If you don't know Maira, chances are you may actually know her work without realizing it. Her drawings appear on covers of the New Yorker, and are often seen in the New York Times. Maira also illustrated the unlikely classic "The Elements of Style"...
