I Want my Hat Back by Jon Klassen Walker Books, 2011 Click above to listen to the way we read I Want my Hat Back The first book both written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, I Want my Hat Back is a debut that makes you roar for more. I Want my Hat Back has a cumulative structure, with repetition and mirrored dialogue for read-aloud enjoyment, using tension and timing masterfully for narrative -and comic- effect. It is a delightfully naughty and subtle story told in deceptively simple dialogue and illustrations that captivates small and big readers on many different levels. It has lots of thank yous, some rather pathetic lying, one painfully slow brain or two, a double-paged anticipation of a true Western showdown, and a refreshingly pitiless, rather amusing, ending. The Story (spoiler alert) A big, cuddly forlorn bear has lost his hat and wants it back. He wanders about asking all the other animals he encounters whether they've seen it. The fox and the frog are concise and to the point: they haven't seen it. The rabbit (we readers notice he's wearing a lovely pointed red hat himself) is more lengthy in his explanation: "No. Why are you asking me. I havent' seen it. I haven´t seen any hats anywhere. I would not steal a hat. Don't ask me any more questions". The bear thanks them each anyway and walks on. The tortoise hasn't seen it but can do with some help climbing a rock. The snake once saw a blue and round hat, but that's not the hat our friend is looking for. The armadillo doesn't even know what a hat is. Depressed, he lies down and looks up at the sky. "My poor hat. I miss it so much". Then the deer appears and asks him what his hat looks like. As soon as the bear starts describing the hat he remembers where he's seen it, or rather, who he has seen it on. He jumps up and runs back past all the animals, now standing in a neat line next to each other, until he reaches the thief and recovers his hat. "I love my hat". An ellipsis gives us the full story, though, and when a squirrel comes and asks the happy, hat-wearing bear whether he has seen a rabbit wearing a hat, the bear answers in a familiar fashion: "No. Why are you asking me. I haven't seen him. I haven't seen any rabbits anywhere....". The Illustrations The illustrations in I Want my Hat Back are simple-lined figures on a pale background with at most a few leaves and weeds as props. It is all told in muted colours (shades of grey. brown and beige), except for the red of the hat, which stands out from everything else in the images and is given clever narrative use. An interesting visual element is the text, colour coded by character (the animals each speak in a different colour). We love the expression in the bear's eyes. How can such deadpan illustrations convey such despair? Check out the fox peeking out at us Why are you asking me? We love this snake, his irrelevant chit chat and the colour coded dialogue. My poor hat. I miss it so much. The moment of recognition! Again, check out those eyes! Running back to catch the culprit Western showdown. This is my favourite. You can almost hear the score. I love my hat. The endpapers, featuring all the book's characters including a hatless bear at the front of the book and a hattted bear at the back, look like gorgeous silky fabric. I wonder who will be the first to produce it for funky children's bedrooms! Reading it out loud I Want My Hat Back's cumulative text with repeated dialogue structures makes for great read aloud material, even for very young children, who will also be captivated by the expressive eyes of the bear and the funny looks of the other animals. There's also plenty of occasion for doing silly voices. But I think this book offers many other powerful reasons for children to engage. Small children can really identify with a) losing something precious and desperately needing it back, b) finding something nice and wanting to keep it to the extent that you c) try to cover up by lying badly and often verbosely, d) finding the rat who stole your precious something in a) and e) taking it back rather forcefully: "It's MINE". (Or as the bear says, "I like my hat"). I think it is this multi-layered identification that makes children oooh! and aaah! and giggle here, and, at least in our case, we get plenty of the three! Other comments about I Want my Hat Back It's the closest I've seen a picture book get to a silent film. On the one hand, I Want My Hat Back is an introduction to a slightly more sophisticated type of humour than one normally finds in picture books, where double meanings play a key role and the funniness lies in showing and saying something different from what is happening. I've read a few reviews of this book, some off them well argued and interesting that pose the question as to whether this might be a case of a book that is in fact far more appealing to adults than to children, a book that adults "get" far more than children. So what is my experience? Do children "get" it? I find, at least in my son, that he has shown a peculiar kind of attraction to the way the story is told, to the mystery and the suspense that forms part of the humour in the book, that I hadn't seen before. I'd venture to say that it's the beginning of an education in humour. Slapstick you do not need to learn, but there is another type of humour that does need to be learned, and the way of learning it is through exposure to it. You might not get it at first, or you might not think there is anything to get (so what?), but the exposure to the playfulness of language and narrative for humourous effect is the beginning of an interesting and joyful learning process. My three-year old son was definitely drawn to it from the first time we read it a few months ago now. Would I say he is drawn to it because of the humour? It would probably be truer to say that many more elements are responsible for him liking it, but definitely, the use of narrative suspense for comic effect works for him, and manages to make him giggle. Now I'll ask you a question. I think this dim little chap is an armadillo, but other people seem to think it's an opposum or a mole. What do you think? (Note added later: I see Klassen himself describes it as a "mole... thing". But those stripes still throw me...). I see Jon Klassen's next book is due out on October 12. It features a fish wearing a Magritte-style bowler hat and is called, yes, you got it, This is Not my Hat. Read this super interview with Klassen at Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast. I have to say I jumped at his boyish face! Somehow I expected him to be/look older. (c) of all the illustrations in this post, Jon Klassen, 2011. (c) of the text, Ellen Duthie.

My Sigils and how I make them My process of making sigils is with a Custom Alphabet, therefore i made my own Alphabet and then with a clear intention I drew the sigils....here's a step by step of my own process....also if you want to check out other way of making Sigils click HERE Step 1 ...Study and practice a few letters from other Alphabets. this is where I started, I have researched and wrote down at least 15 different alphabets from our Roman letters, to Latin, Phoenician, Hieroglyphs, Ancient Greek, Runic Norse, Atlantean, Freemason, Celtic Ogham, to Theban and lots of Others the ones that resonated the most with me was the most basic shaped ones like Freemason, that is mostly squares, triangles and circles...the 3 basic shapes of sacred geometry...In doing this I also found out that not all alphabet have all the letters we have, some of them uses only 1 symbol for letters that sounds the same ex: K-Q, or S-C, so I decided to simplify my alphabet this way too. Step 2 ...Removing the vowels. It is customary in Sigils to remove all the vowels, but if you feel you want to include them go a head, remember there is no right or wrong way to do sigils, there is only the way you feel like doing it. but for me, I wanted to remove them, only because when using long phrases(affirmations) you end up with too many letters and your sigil gets crowded and a bit messy in my opinion, I like them simple and easy to replicate...so therefore my Alphabet only has 18 letters Step 3 ...Writing down my Alphabet. Now that I have remove the vowels, the same sound letters and chose a few styles that I liked, I proceeded to create and play around with some of the letters and finally write down my own Alphabet... Step 4 ...Finding a good Affirmation Writing down a good affirmation is as simple as clearing your mind, setting your intention in your heart, feeling the emotion that comes with it, then saying out loud the first thing that comes to mind, then proceed to writing it down if it sounds good to your ears...now if you want to get technical about it...you need to say and write it in the present tense(as if it's happening now) ex: you might want to have more money so you would say something like "I want more money to come my way" but what you should say is "I have more money in my wallet"...always use the "I am, I have" etc. rather that "I want, I will," past or future affirmation...you should also always use the positive version of what you want or don't want, ex: when you don't want to be sad, you might want to say something like "I'm not sad, I am no longer crying" but it is said that the mind doesn't recognize the word NO or NOT or other words that means "nothing" because your mind can't create on nothing it wants to create with something like happiness and smiles, so you should say something more like..."I am Happy, I'm smiling more and more everyday, My life is filled with Happiness or Happy moments"...now, your affirmations needs to be about you, remember you can't control others or there lives, you have control only of you own life, emotions and reactions. Step 5 ...drawing your Sigil Yep! that simple, now that you have your own Alphabet or Alphabet of choice, your positive Affirmation you can start drawing...BTW you can start with simple words instead of a full sentence, words holds a lot of power even on there own...that is exactly what I did, because usually the longer the phase the more complex the sigil gets, so try and keep it short and sweet.... Now here's my own though process for my sigils...so this is one of my very first sigil LOVE...what a beautiful Word, doesn't even need anything else to make us feel something or have an emotional reaction to it...now we remove the vowel and we get LOVE = LV...that's not much to go with but its short and simple ;)...so my L and My V as you can see in the first picture on the right of my finished sigil...now You can start with the order of your choice i started with the V because I felt like it...lol...then I rotated my sheet and drew the L on the same line of the V...then I rotated the sheet again because it was speaking to me better upside down, then I added another L...why?...well because LOVE is always better in duo...then I refined the lines and made it symmetrical... now here is more on why I drew it like this...The V is like a triangle that represent, fire(passion), the arrow represent the man(male), the Y that formed between the 2 Ls, represent the woman(female)...now this doesn't mean love is only between a man and a woman, it means Love has both genders, It has both female and male qualities, both beautiful&gentle and strong&lively....the finished sigil looks a lot like a Heart and as we all know the heart is a well known symbol for love...and last but not least the sigil is a perfect mirror image that represent duality, equality and even the inside/out or As above so Below. now here's other sigils that I made that you can use in your own magick if you wish. FRieND = FRND The triangle (N&D) that represent the element of fire for action, strength and protection (like a roof over our head), the turning circle (R) the energy flow going clockwise when you start inward growing outward, The 2 scrolls and bottom plate (F) for our own individuality turning in different direction but yet the same because they mirror each other (balance each other out) and they both stand over the same plate (ground level) here on earth. BeST FRieND = BSTFRND Similarly to the Friend sigil, the triangle (N&D) that represent the element of fire for action, strength and protection (like a roof over our head) now it's divided into 3 triangles (B) to represent the 3 sacred fires of our hearts (fire of truth, fire of love and violet fire), the turning circle (R) is higher up reaching the stars this time with a circle (S) of protection around it and the 2 scrolls (F) (individuality), they still stand over the same plate (ground level), but now there is a second plates symbolizing a second dimension for a deeper connection that our earth body can't understand, only the soul can, soul sister/brother, and finally a cross (T)reaching from the sky to the underground to tie everything in troughs heaven or hell you will both walk together helping each other up along the way. CoNSisTensy = CNST The square (2N's) represents stability and the 4 elements, the circle (C) the earth because nothing is more stable and consistent that the element of earth, the yin yang (S) for balance because without balance in your life there can be no consistency and finally the cross (T) for perfect symmetry...with balance, symmetry, stability you can absolutely achieve consistency in everything you do.

"What does your boyfriend do when you go out of town? Well, gets struck by lightning." - Daphne Cheek
Gyotaku literally means "fish rubbing" in Japanese. So what I have here isn't exactly gyotaku properly speaking; it's more like plant-taku. (All of this taku talk is making me think of gyotacos, which would be delicious right now... a little of that sour cream-type sauce that my wife makes with some cabbage over some seasoned grilled tilapia all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Have a little dirty rice on the side. Mmmmm.) Anyway, I have made some plant prints from some of the trees growing just outside of the school where I teach. This first one is an oak sprout. These are harder to do than you would think. At least they were for me. I had to fiddle around with the pressure on the press so that it was high enough to get a good, clean print, but not so high that it crushed the stem and sent plant juices squirting all over the paper. I tried hand printing as an alternative, but I could not get any good impressions that way. I'll just have to keep trying. Here I tried to approximate the colors in the leaves from the oak twig I picked for this one: And this one. Hmm. A lot of people smile and say "weed!" for this one. But it's actually a leaf from a castor bean plant. It's towering over the school garden where no one seems to remember planting it. And don't worry, I've done due diligence on researching just exactly how poisonous this plant is and the internet assures me that we're all safe.
