I loved being a part of this issue— the art inspired the stories rather than vice versa, and it was completely fascinating to see two completely different stories about The Bone Witch. @saccharinequeen.bsky.social I will totally send you a drawing for your book! #kidlit #kidlitart
❤️ this interview with Sadie Maskery (@saccharinequeen.bsky.social) about the artwork that inspired her poems for our Ekphrasis Adventure issue, writing for children, and so much more.
