Puffling Patrol by Ted Lewin6/22/2023 ![]() “Ted would use people in the neighborhood for models in his early illustrations,” Ms Provey said.Ī resident of Sandy Hook for 20 years, come September, Ms Provey said that she knew they were meant to live here when she stopped by the library book sale - then held on the lawn of the Main Street building - and discovered a copy of a book Mr Lewin had illustrated years before, using her family members and neighbors. Her parents had met the Lewins when they were all students at the nearby Pratt Institute. The Lewins, said Ms Provey, were among numerous illustrators and artists living in the neighborhood, and are good friends of her parents. Ms Provey has known the Lewins since she was a child, growing up across the street from them in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Inside the boxes were more than two dozen children’s books, gifts of children’s book illustrators/authors Ted and Betsy Lewin. Booth Library received a special donation, Thursday, March 19, delivered in two boxes by Sandy Hook resident Julia Provey. ![]()
