Love this picture book ONE DAY THIS TREE WILL FALL by @LBB_books and Stephanie Fizer Coleman. I never thought I could be so charmed by the rhythm, drama and beauty of the simple, but rich, story of a tree.

Rare visit and treat to a #figuredrawing session at Minerva’s Drawing Studio in downtown Manhattan. Was able to squeeze in #collage during longer poses.

PIANO WANTS TO PLAY waits in the wings for its release date on March 5. But we got our first review, and it’s a good one (so relieved)😅🥰! It includes a lovely synopsis if you’re curious to know what my picture book is about. #kidlit #picturebooks
