One of the things I’ll be sharing here is a chronicle of the making and impact of the book.
I’ll also share some of my own initial sketches, as well as some of the final book illustrations.
how much (i.e. how little) I got paid.
why it hasn’t yet been reprinted.
I’ll be posting these chronicles on my blog and sharing them on the Jesse’s Dream Skirt Project page on Facebook and on Goodreads.
Last, but not least, I welcome your input on where to take the project beyond the above. I could have created the Facebook Page in the Books category, but I chose to make it a Community instead, in the hopes that you’ll join me there (and on Goodreads and here on my blog) to share in the appreciation of the book, explore the issues that it raises, and — who knows? — maybe even incubate some ideas for other ways to spread the message of acceptance, and celebration, of our vast diversity.
P.S. Please help spread the word on social media! — Except for Pinterest: don’t share there, as their Terms of Service do not adequately protect copyright. Thanks!
