Sorry for very late reply, Connie. Your childhood story about making an apple pie shows promise of a young writer (and artist!). I remember your storyboard for your Fishing Dog story when we were at VCFA. You were an art- and mark-maker at an early age!

I found a story told mostly in drawings about making an apple pie. Think I was about 7 when I made it. I found it interesting that I focused great attention on the apple tree not wanting to give up its apples. Maybe I had just watched The Wizard of Oz. Or maybe empathy for living things was emerging… And telling a story from multiple perspectives was happening too. The mom was getting impatient waiting for more apples to be picked to make the pie.

Thank you for sharing the stories behind your drawings. Much food for thought!!

Thanks for reading, Mindy. I’m bringing back long-form essays, more than a blog post, with research. I hope you enjoy the next installment and future essays!
