Running with Wolves

No, we do not run with wolves in the summer. 
It's something slightly less scary, but nearly as tangled and free.
School's out! Tide's in! 

It's our creative breath and bread, 
embracing this warmth of days that ease into night.
Time to experiment.
Time to paint.
Time to play. 
Paint pens + plastic animals
+ eye screws + beads.
 Sometimes you just need to wear a rhino around your neck.
Time to read.
The wildebeests and I have retreated into our reading cozies. 
These beauties are in my stack:
Plot Whisperer by Martha Alderson
The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass

Happy sunshine, my friends!
Our summer story awaits!

 

A few book favorites so far:

The Inquisitor's Tale by Adam Gidwitz, illustrated by Hatem Aly
Papillon, the Very Fluffy Kitten by A.N. Kang
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo
Tippy and the Night Parade by Lilli Carre
