That's a lovely play on 'growth', Ursula. I'll absolutely pass this on to the group. We especially enjoyed the illustrated reference list at the back - a lovely touch!

Are we allowed to know if you're working on something new?
I hope you're allowed the time to create and develop as much as you have with the last two graphic novels. It's clear that Botticelli is deep in research but also love too.

You're so talented. Although the art is a delight, I just relished all the research and details. You could tell that every single stroke mattered

Louise Rosenblatt reminded us that reading is a transaction — not a transfer. The text doesn't hand down meaning; it waits. And in the space between reader and page, meaning is made, shaped by the child’s questions, memories, wonderings. We read with the text, not at it (2/2)
