Not Literally Book
Last year Lucy asked if we could make a "healthy book."
So we started with the easy obvious stuff:
eat your fruits & veggies, drink a lot of water.

I fell in love with how hilarious the literal drawings of the phrases turned out and was inspired to write a rhyming poem of some health advice.
Every week we would take one line of the poem and talk about what it meant figuratively, in relation to health
(physical health, mental health, social health, emotional health, spiritual health)
Then I would discuss how to depict the phrases literally
and sketch a thumbnail together.
She would then draw a big pencil sketch
and paint it in with ink wash and acrylics.
I would outline her pencils with an ink pen.
