The Weaving Adventures of Edgar and Rita is a children’s picture book about the creative process. Edgar, the golden retriever is surprised to learn that his owner Rita can find inspiration for her weavings everywhere, sketching them in her little book. As Rita gathers ideas from her environment, Edgar learns how something that seems ordinary can stimulate the imagination. Together Edgar and Rita discover shapes, colors and textures all around them.

Author Frances Iverson is a weaver and educator. Inspired by her students’ sense of wonder and their excitement when encouraged to be creative, she hopes this book will stimulate children to see the endless possibilities in their world.
