Family of 3 in yellow shirts. The parents didn't want their kid's face online, so you can't see his face or his sign which was my favorite: "Be kind."

When I wrote GLASS GIRL, I'd just read Gilbert's BIG MAGIC, talking about artists' seemingly magical inspiration. It "inspired" me to treat the dreams of sleeping dragons as the inspiration for the book's stained-glass window maker.
