I think this picture fits the topic “grow” quite well. I started out drawing the beans that Chloe is growing in her classroom at school and then Jessica said I needed to turn them into sunflowers. So this is what I ended up with, thanks for your help girls. Drawn and coloured in Illustrator.

    I like how you layered this by having the children behind the flowers. This is so fun and cheerful 🙂

    Really great….I like Scott’s look of amazement. Such a rite of passage through the elementary years….a flower grown in a cup.
