@pinocastellano For me, the worst is to call my accountant. I can procrastinate this for months, and have a lot of anxiety about the paperwork. Every time, I call her, I always ask myself "why can I do this 2 months ago?"
Happy December!

This image is a continuation of what happened in the book. Because the story ends in September, and this is obviously a December scene :-).
#TheStarMakersApprentice is a must read picture book that celebrates the willingness and bravery to try something new, and embrace something different. Written by @samhayauthor and illustrated by @lixinmakesart, a fantastic duo in the #picturebook world https://t.co/eu3zeSKVhG

Finn’s father makes & mends stars. Finn longs to help but his ideas are a little different. When dad falls ill, Finn steps in to help with a twinkle of stardust & a heap of creativity.
Ever wondered how stars are really made? 🤔 Gas, dust, gravity... Nah! This is how it's really done. Isn't that right, @lixinmakesart 😉#starmakersapprentice 💫@FarshoreBooks @gemma_cooper https://t.co/lXCjmY1C6M
the art of making a great sketch, IMHO, is one of the most difficult things to master in illustration. To casual observers this, of course, seems backwards. Wouldn't the actual final art be the hardest part? /1
