Design this card$13.00$18.00

A small child flings out both arms and lifts a knee in pure delight, drawn in E. H. Shepard's lively pen line, with A. A. Milne's opening words: "When I was Five, I was just alive." The verse comes from Milne's 1927 book of poems for children, and the drawing from his 1924 book, both of them illustrated by Shepard. For a child turning five, or anyone young at heart.
