New York artist
Maira Kalman
is famous for her
work in
The New Yorker
and
children's books,
and I find her
simply delightful.




I  own many of her books,
and each feels like a little
treasure trove of wit and wisdom.






I think what I like most
about her work
is how it is consistently
one-off and childlike
(not childish!)
in its whimsy.



The Principles of Uncertainty
(Penguin Press HC)
is more fun than I can say.


Maira blogged for the New Yorker
(And the Pursuit of Happiness),
and you can enjoy her posts
