ORDER -- Item #3281, Price $16.99
"Jut-Ay" (pronounced like "Shut" and the "A" in "ABC") is the exclamation that Thai people use when they play "peek-a-boo" with their children.
Holly Meade has illustrated many acclaimed children's books, including Hush!, Blue Bowl Down: An Appalachian Rhyme by C.M. Millen, and That's What Friends Are For by Florence Parry Heide. She says, "Hiding, peeking, seeking - what child the world over doesn't delight in these things? Creating these pictures brought me back to the days when I played such games with my own children - and the happy surprises and hugs they inevitably led to." Holly Meade lives on the Maine coast.
