Big Girls




What happens when girls as big as Godzilla take over the earth? You'd better watch out! The first book I ever wrote was a novella called Searching for Moon Girl. Based on a series of images I created, this modern-day Alice in Wonderland is a surreal, episodic journey where a ten-year-old girl discovers herself. Writing the book was a fun journey for me too; with a cast of talking insects and seven-foot-tall big girls, it helped me explore writing a fantasy novel for young readers. More recently it's been great to see some of those images framed and ready for the Ripe Art exhibition in two weeks.

I'm so happy for you that you have this exhibit! I wish I could see it! Congratulations!!

"Searching for Moongirl" taught me to "always be magenta," remember? I never forgot it...

Stace, how could I ever forget? I almost added it to the entry's title! Haven't we always celebrated being magenta?
