If you want to write a cumulative story, add THE QUIET FOREST by @COffsay and @AbiCushman to your list of mentor texts. It's excellent.
It is also perfect for #funnybookfriday on IG. 💕

THE THREE CANADIAN PIGS (Watkinson/Cutler) is a fractured fairy tale with hockey & Canadian references sprinkled throughout.
It is creative and funny. If you have a little hockey player/fan, this story is a must. 🏒

Sending good vibes on Hedgehog Day for my story out on sub. 🙌
Pitch-
February 2nd is Groundhog Day and Hedgehog Day, but everyone celebrates the groundhog. Well, everyone except a couple of DISGRUNTLED HEDGEHOGS who are plotting a rodent revolution.

Today's #funnybookfriday highlight is SNOWFLAKES ON OUR TONGUES by Mike Ornstein & Pauline Gregory. Written in sing-song rhyme and full of farm animals with their tongues sticking out, it is hilarious.

I love creating ephemeral art because it forces me to work quickly, not obsess about trying to get everything perfect.
