Picture Book Idea Month (PiBoIdMo) in November a success for linda dalal sawaya!

it is with delight that i completed the challenge of coming up with 30 picture book ideas in the 30 days of november for this national event.

not every idea for a story that i would write and illustrate was fabulous, but i am amazed and grateful for the exercise and discipline that produced so many ideas.

now, to sift through them, and discern which i'd like to focus my creative efforts on. a good time of year as we approach official winter, to stay cozy and warm, and write and sketch.

much gratitude to tara lazar, who organized this fun challenge!

here are two children's books i illustrated, both out of print: How to Get Famous in Brooklyn and The Little Ant. i have a number of written manuscripts in progress for books that i'd like to illustrate. now i'm totally inspired to fulfill this intention!
