Listen up! I get it. It’s scary. A void just opened up in the tapestry of our civilisation and it is going to take all of us working together to make up for it. So get to work and let Dolly rest. She deserves it.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day anniversary! 🎈🐰🎈 I pretty much lived in trees as a kid. Tucked into their canopies, I imagined worlds I wasn’t yet able to draw. A lofty foundation if you will, of the illustrator I became. ❤️ #kidlitart #kidlit #art #illustration

There’s a book I wrote whose world I like to revisit from time to time. I haven’t tried to share this story at large yet. Perhaps some day I’ll be brave enough to let it leave the nest and try its wings, but then it won’t be mine anymore.
