Favorite Quotes/Passages
"Wait - draw this leaf." She holds out a salmonberry branch. "Sit right there and draw what your hands see."
"My mom always knew when I was lying. It was some kind of superpower, like she could see inside me and find the lie circling around in my bloodstream. When I was five I lied about taking cookies from the package we were saving for a party. She stared me down until I started blubbing and confessed, in tears. From that day on, I couldn't lie to her. Her power was too strong."
"The way he greeted you. His wagging tail. It was pure happiness. I'd love to draw that."
