Yikes—I don’t blame you!
“Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.”
“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”
BOTD Leonardo da Vinci 1452
Got it. 👍🏼
Then again… Honestly if anyone scrolls down that far— that would be amazing! 🤪😘🤷🏼♀️
I’m not sure how it would cause problems. Your agency might get an occasional fan letter but that’s about it.
Can you use your literary agency address?
Happy #Spring Reading! 🌸🌺🌷

Interesting question. If you provide such an outlet, that’s cool. At the same time, actual Face-to-face interactions, not on a device, are so very important in building social skills. Drawing is a low-stress way of finding other ways to express big feelings and make friends. There is room for both.
Had so much fun yesterday, sharing Squirrel Draws BIG Feelings @beamingbooksmn.bsky.social @lucianaillustra.bsky.social @eastwestlit.bsky.social — with storytime, silly songs and drawings our own BIG feelings! Thank you, Ruby’s Books!

“Like Art and Libraries, Squirrel Draws BIG Feelings is for all of us.”
Overheard a 3rd grader at a recent school visit: “Why is it always a boy author?” And she was right to ask this question.
Look. I love visiting schools. It’s one of my favorite parts of being an author.
