A one page comic that says "Sometimes discomfort is the way forward." The comic is black and white. The word "discomfort" is drawn in a way that reflects the meaning of the word. The word "forward" is drawn in a similar way, representing the meaning with the depiction. The background art behind the words makes it look like the discomfort is fueling the forward.
"Sometimes discomfort is the way forward."

Today’s 1st bookstore on the road to #americanlibraryassociation conference is the FABULOUS Main Point Books in Wayne, PA! I had such a great time coming back here & talking about A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES (9/30 @erewhonbooks.bsky.social) with the wonderful booksellers!
Had a blast hanging out with Lee Miao at the ALA Conference! So grateful to the Eastern PA SCBWI leadership for booking a spot at ALA this year. In an hour & a half, I was able to hand out 20 copies of Slip to eager readers and libraries. Mission accomplished.
