Galunker (Artwork by Dula Yavne)

Best Picture Book Concept. “Galunker (excerpt)” by Douglas Anthony Cooper and Dula Yavne at Huff Post Books.
Most Thought Provoking. “Realizing the Comforts of My Color” by Beth Morey.
Most Chilling. “1984 and ATI” by Susanna Wesley at Recovering Grace.

Thanks so much for recommending Galunker! One note: the artwork is by Dula Yavne, not me. (Crucial.) She’s illustrating the entire book — I’m just the writer.
This is a direct link, by the way, to the Kickstarter project:

Thank you for the correction. I’ve updated the post to give credit to her wonderful artwork (I love that picture with the heart—he’s so sweet in it). Glad to see you’ve already exceeded your goal. I hope you get a lot more funding in the next 28 days! This is a fantastic project and I’m glad to do a small part to spread the word.
