May I?

It's already the end of May. I've barely noticed the month slipping by because 3/4 of it was spent preparing for a trip to Vermont and 1/4 was spent *in* lovely Vermont at my literary agent's retreat.
Here's something I sketched while in VT, listening to a brilliant picture book manuscript being read aloud.

It's ball point pen ink which can be somewhat unforgiving of mistakes. I'll probably color it in (but first I'll fix a few little things, like that hand on the left).
