My first offering for @lwbean's #kidlitsummers drawing challenge 2k19! Once we graduated from the tiny plastic kiddie pool, our best bet for swimsuit cooldown time was a dash through the sprinkler with the neighbors. ☀️

#3: Stories always get me inspired, and picture books are for all ages (you're never too old!) so check these ones out as you amp yourself up for the next few weeks of giving your time and talent.
