#Cozytober 2021: Hot Drinks

This image is from my picture book, TAKÓŽA: WALKS WITH THE BLUE MOON GIRL, written by Tara Perron. TAKÓŽA (grandchild) drinks cedar tea with her Kúŋši (grandmother). This endearing, lyrical picture book is as cozy as snuggling under a star quilt on a chilly day. #Cozytober is a month-long art prompt during October.

“Then, together they fill the kettle with cedar tea and feast on bread with maple syrup.” —Tara Perron, TAKOZA: WALKS WITH THE BLUE MOON GIRL

This image is from my picture book, THE MUKLUK BALL, written by Katharine Johnson for the Minnesota Historical Society Press. #cozytober 2021 #baking #Cozytober is a month-long art prompt during October.
