"When you live in a cookie cutter world..." 🎶 #Hanson #strange #SCBWIArtober2025 #kidlitart #scbwi #gingerbread #cookies

For SCBWIArtober2025's Day 25 prompt, "Strange," eight gingerbread cookies are in two rows. Seven cookies are identical: brown with white icing. One cookie is sideways, with music headphones and glitter frosting in all colors. The artwork is inspired by Hanson's song Weird, which says: "When you live in a cookie cutter world, if you're different you can't win / Isn't it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes"
