Interesting, as always!

My first thought when you threw away the book because you couldn’t tell if the image was a boy or a demon was that, perhaps, that was the inspiration for your own logo. A demon who looks playful and fun to be around, rather than the scary ones of childhood nightmares.

Have a great weekend!

I love this essay. About kids books, it always disturbed me that so many are about happy smiling farm animals. Another on-ramp for the death talk and more.
