The Saugatuck-Douglas Art Club commissioned Patricia Daggett to create this bronze sculpture to honor the art of puppetry and the memory of Burr Tillstrom, famous puppeteer and part-time resident of Saugatuck.

In this sculpture, the little girl has just discovered the thrill of making her hand-puppet move. She represents the joy of puppetry for all ages.

Patricia Daggett studied sculpture at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art; her first small bronze was cast at the Ox-Box summer camp in Saugatuck many years ago.
