Every day as a mother and teacher is a visceral reminder of how surreal childhood actually is. I collect and illustrate the things kids say and write so that we may all find our way back.

Wildhood

“The tiger in the cage is intangible.”

“John and Mary had never met.
They were like two hummingbirds,
who had also never met.”

“She floated down the hall, exactly the way
a cannon ball wouldn’t.”

“Kitty, kitty, pyramid-y;
you’re so pretty, little kitty.”
