This one was for a Martin Luther King, Jr. day coloring book that her art class made for little kids. The theme, in keeping with the holiday, was helping others.
Here, a girl is comforting her friend, who is upset after her little brother destroyed her tower of blocks. Chloe is not a big fan of this drawing, but I really like it. She asked that I not include it in the blog, but I convinced her that one day she’ll be glad to see it in the 2010 volume of Pink Me Not.
I generally try to respect my kids’ wishes when they ask that I refrain from blogging about certain things. But every so often I stand my ground, hoping that one day they’ll thank me for my prescience in deciding to include some of the stories they’d currently like to forget.
