This is a behind the scenes look at a coloring page I made for a reward for people who donate to my NaNoWriMo Night of Writing Dangerously fund.

Last week on my lettering blog
I showed you how I laid out this quote.
Today I’m talking about the book that it came from,
THE SNEETCHES AND OTHER STORIES. 
I suspect you had a lot of Dr. Seuss read to you as a child,
or read a lot of it to your child,
or even if you don’t have a child,
you HAVE to know who the guy is.
I don’t know why this story has always stuck with me;
it just has.
I bought this book used at a bookstore I worked at in Tennessee.
Occasionally they would get Dr. Seuss books in and if they were in good condition, I’d snatch them up.
They’re expensive to buy new, and, well, I was working at a bookstore, so I had to save money where I could.
I remember when I was little I saw a little movie of the Sneetches.
How crazy they run around to get stars or to clear the stars,
how much money was flying,
how silly it all seemed.
I didn’t like how snotty they were to each other.
I must have identified with it early on,
and I like the message of the book:
Everyone matters, no matter what he or she looks like.
So, let me read it to you!

Bye for now,
