No... I think she is hiding from that angelic looking child star. You are thinking: "But that little girl looks so sweet..." WRONG! That is Lilah Amaret - the diabolically clever creator of the Lilah Bean minions! She wears a pink sundress and a Cheshire smile to distract us from the fact that she is holding (paper) fire on the cover of the book. No wonder Meg is afraid of her!
It is amazing what you can glean from a single photo... (besides the devious nature of my child)... the fire comes from a Klutz kit of paper doll horses (just behind Meg)... and on the table just behind - what's that?! Crayons?! And a stack of brand new AlphaTangle posters? Oh-oh, not a good situation. Yes, those are the two tables in my classroom and they are covered with STUFF. So, now you know, my child is just like her cartoon character, I have way too many projects going on at once, no time or space to teach classes (although I do have one this weekend*), and I don't get anything accomplished when that little cherub is in the studio with me.
All I wanted was a sweet publicity photo of her with the book. Honestly, is that too much to ask?
PS - I HAVE BOOKS!!! Yah! Get them here: www.bumblebat.com and if you are a CZT, you can purchase them to resell to your students.
* I have an eraser carving class on Saturday at Wingdoodle from 12-3. Call the shop at 603-456-3515 if you'd like more info and to sign up.
