you know, it's one of those weird things. children's books NEED to address darkness, death, the things kids will go through; it's powerful. It helps them parse what they experience.

Look at that list when you wake up.
Look at it again midday.
Look at it once more before you go to sleep at night.

All creatives have envy.
We want to make good things! It’s sometimes hard to watch others succeed where we have not yet.
Envy is poison. What you may not know is the antidote is hope.
