Peter Panda's Birthday!
Peter Panda was born at ALA mid-winter... so I guess this is like his first birthday!
'After ALA'
Here's a work-in-progress with an apt title that might be 'After ALA'. The dazed attendee staggers away discombobulated from sensory overload. Lol! It was fun to see all the new styles of artwork that are being selected...
ALA - Midwinter
No, that's not the halftime concession stand at the Superbowl... that's the lobby on a quiet morning at ALA-mid-winter. Now I know why I work at home alone in slippers. I'm glad I steeled myself for rejection ahead of time... it came in handy. It's an uphill battle when you're trying to foist yourself off as a creator of picture books in the middle of the clearance sale at Macys. I did have two or three books on the racks there, if you dug deep enough you might have seen them.
So many books... so many middle-men! I still wonder what all those guys in suits do? We lowly authors just create books from the blank page. Whew! Too much stuff! I had to get back to my quiet cafe to relax.
