Where to even start? The past fortnight has felt like two months, rather than two weeks! Wherever you are, here’s hoping things are well on your end.
I did want to start pulling together some resources for families, especially if you’ve suddenly found yourself a surprise homeschooler. Below are links to some coloring sheets, as well as free activity kits put together by the authors of books I’ve illustrated. Hope you find these resources helpful! And I’m hoping to do some kind of Facebook or Instagram live event in the next week or two (drawing? reading? I’m open to suggestions!). So… Let’s get to the links:
* Download the above forest wanderer here.
* Or if mythical woodland creatures are your jam, you can download this fairy coloring sheet.
* Want to get out of the house? Here’s a Finding Wild activity sheet. And if you’re a school or library and would like to be able to read Finding Wild or Fort Building Time during the next few weeks, check out author Megan Wagner Lloyd’s site for guidelines.
* Some coloring sheets from Bella’s Rules, by Elissa Haden Guest (download sheet #1 and sheet #2).
* Author Uma Krishnaswami has an activity kit for both The Grand Plan to Fix Everything and The Problem With Being Slightly Heroic (two delightful middle grade books I illustrated a few years ago). You can find that terrific resource here (scroll down a bit to download).
* And Kate Hosford has up some super fun curriculum resources for the books she’s written, including an activity kit for Mama’s Belly.
Hope you enjoy! And if you use any of the coloring sheets, definitely let me know (or holler at me on social media). Stay well!
