The Narrative Art Award. The idea is to tell a story, without words, based on a prompt. This year's prompt is "Tell a story about something that turns out NOT to be a threat." Here is my submission:

Thank you for this Debbie! I love this except for the political stuff. Not sure what that has to do with kidlit.

What an amazing 2 days! 5 classes & 3 schools! The kids at all 3 schools were so well behaved. LaFollette Elementary School, Campbell County Christian Academy & Jacksboro Elementary School. Angela Roberts read her latest book, Malachi the Monarch, & I talked to the kids about illustration.

Sometimes this life is so hard. We try our best, and fall flat on our faces. We follow our hearts into a pit of despair. We need to follow a guide instead of our hearts. We need a shepherd. #redletterawards #suicideawareness #bible #scripture #psalm23

This weekend at the conference, I got to meet & hang out a bit with @scottsoeder, the SCBWI Illustrator Coordinator of @scbwimidsouth Region. A very talented & all-around super guy. I'm terrible at selfies.

Feeling burdened? Overwhelmed? or tired? Don't give up. Jesus extends an invitation to you & promises you rest. The rest He offers is not only physical or temporary. It's a deeper spiritual rest, a renewing & strengthening of your spirit, a peace that is above our struggles. Hang on & Come to Jesus.

Congrats Pam! Spike's Glow is out. Told through the eyes of a quirky, loyal, lopsided-horned unicorn, it's a heartwarming story about friendship, & the kind of love that glows.
