I LOVE this! The UN has named #WonderWoman an Honorary Ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls, and a symbol in the fight for gender equality for a year. As a #feminist, #writer, and #comicnerd, thus thrills me. Being equal - under the law and i

There were so many cool #comic & #bookish things at Page & Panel in Toronto @tcafshop One of my favorites were these #bannedbooks socks! Especially since my book #SCARS has been challenged, and so many books I love. I always think: If you don't like a boo

I visited Page & Panel #comic store today (located in the Toronto Reference Library - how cool is that?) and picked up these cute, tiny #Superman and #WonderWoman tins of mints. Aren't they cool? I prefer modern-day Wonder Woman to the classic, but she is

Leanne wanted me to draw for her, so I drew what she asked and she colored it in, then added a few details. And then she came up with drawings she wants me to do next time and the time after that and after that - a fairy (my suggestion), a mermaid, her ti

I went over to the three girls' place tonight, bringing pads of paper and crayons, and we all drew together. We all had fun! I also taught them how to make a paper airplane, danced with them, and gave them piggyback and horsey rides. They keep saying they
