Dear Humans,
​
I'm sorry that the world is scary and uncertain and overwhelming right now. It's also connected and caring. I'm in awe of the number of folks I know personally who have, with everything else going on, offered to make art and read stories to our children. It's incredible. Isn't that what we all need right now? For someone else to pick their favorite books, snuggle us up, and read to us? That's what we're going to do here. From some cozy place in my house, wearing pajamas, doing my best to not shrink at my dyslexia and my own inability to sit still for too long right now, and with occasional background meows, I'm going to read to you. I'm so grateful to these artists for their words. I'm so grateful that you're here.
​
Love,
Nik
