Since my current WIP is wordless (well, the only actual word in the book is ‘Squeak!’) - here are the VERY rough sketches leading up to said word. It’s a story that leans heavily on family with a strong 💪 anti-bully message. I call it CROWD.

If the octopus's lunchbox had something from my manuscript, it would be this guy--but that would be a bummer as I need him for the story!

Made meringue mushrooms in honor of my mushroom picture book for Just egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar—and nearly two hours in the oven. Dusted with cocoa powder, and the caps are slathered in melted chocolate to attach the stems. An airy, sweet treat!
