As a member of SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators), I entered the Tomie dePaola contest – due last Friday. It is a long shot, but the winner gets admission paid to the NY conference in Feb 2014 and lunch with Tomie!! (Wouldn’t that be cool?!) The assignment was to illustrate the “Sneeze” poem below with an audience of 2 mos-2 yrs. Here is what I came up with:
“Sneeze”
A sneeze
is a breeze
in
your
nose.
Sneeze in Your Nose
Fingers and toes crossed! 🙂
Welcome, to my art, doodles, scribbles, thoughts, sometimes wise moments, but mostly day-to-day journals of what being creative is all about.

Hopefully you win two tickets.
Wow! I loved his book the clown of god. I hope you win. That would be a thrill to have lunch with Tommie dePaola. Hope your elephant wins.
Wow! Watch out! Power sneeze alert. Super cute.
I LOVE it and I feel it is a winner!
Very clever and creative! Wow. Let me know how things turn out.
Sara, this is so cute, very clever! Cross fingers and toes!
