Gosh, 2020 was a year.
But look, so has 2021 been, right? For Kidlit creators with books releasing, it's just  a different world.  You may have heard me speak of my Great Technical Meltdown...or not. In any case, that's why this episode is almost a year late being posted. However, what I found is that what Susi Schaefer (author illustrator of "Cat Ladies" ,  prolific YouTube poster of gorgeous art tutorials at Susi Schaefer Art and very lovely human being) and I were talking about is still totally relevant. Kidlit community, creativity and picturebooks are always, relevant, right?
Right. Obviously,  so are stories and Susi shares a lovely one with me about creative  community- for you!
I'm believing that although this episode is being sent out later than expected, the timing is perfect for someone who needs to hear it or read Susi's book or find her gorgeous tutorials  right now.
See, I can't tell you how to live your life, but I can share a story with you- and maybe it's just the one you need.
Stay safe, dear listeners,
Talk to you soon
