Has anybody had any luck after sending cold emails to art directors in the publishing industry? It seems incredibly hard to break into this field—and some of the emails even get blocked by company's firewalls..What is the best way the get noticed by art directors?? #kidlitart

“I’d like to live in an mansion.”, said Little Mole.

One by one, the villagers were heading to work. “Hello Chef! Which dish are you cooking up today?”
“Morning Cheesemonger! What cheese are you making today?”
The Little Mole tried to catch up with everybody.
