#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 22: "Is there a book you wish you’d written?"

The children's book "the grasshopper and the ants" as illustrated and written by Jerry Pinkney

The way he brought the insects to life, the way he captured nature--

I guess I wish I could draw ants like that, lively, relatable but still obviously ANTS.

There is also something of African American culture in the way he brings characters to life, and the struggles they face. There are kinds of people you recognize here.
