Tomorrow morning I’ll be on this stage talking to 500 children about my work, and yep, I’m feeling a tad apprehensive… because I want the event to go well! …and the children to come away feeling inspired by reading, and drawing and art. If I can do that, I’ll feel like I’ve done my job. #authorevent #illustratorevent #stafford #stanleysstick #thetree
