I’ve just completed writing, illustrating and designing 20 guides for elementary school children, on themes including bullying, lying, teasing and moving. Commissioned by Boulden Publishing, these will be sold to school counselors. I wrote each guide from a child’s perspective so these are called “kid-to-kid guides”. I remember being utterly shocked when I encountered girl bullying and cliques in junior high school and thinking, “when I grow up I want to write about this”. But I hadn’t thought about that since. Amazing, the power of intention.
