Happy National #Sourdough Bread Day! I’ve baked around 100 sourdough loaves while working on my upcoming #picturebook, #BREADDAYS! I love how baking sourdough is a slow process and how every loaf turns out uniquely different. Here are some of my favorites - from toad-looking ones to leafy ones!

Really enjoyed listening to @peterbrownstudio.com and @eliotschrefer.bsky.social's discussion today!
Big shoutout to the young reader who asked Peter "What was it like to create The Wild Robot?" amid many heady questions like technology, animal ethics, and their portrayal in media. So brave 🙌
