Neesha's post

I am going to need to re-read this PLUS the comments when I get home and can devote more time to this rich, thought-provoking discussion...

Shelftalker Follow-up

This is an amazing follow-up to Elizabeth Bluembe's blog about diversity in children's books - wonderfully well-written, and I am so heartened by all the comments. There are a LOT of people out there who feel the same as I do!

Okay, this has nothing to do with illustration...I just needed to vent! How can I lose 10lbs and still look the same?! All that work, being hungry all the time, and my clothes only feel a LITTLE looser!

Geez... makes me want to go eat a cupcake.

On the other hand, if the scale is wrong (and I suspect it is, being 15 yrs old), this would make sense.

More summer reading
