We’re sending our next Letter for Kids from writer and illustrator Peter Witte! Peter sends us a handwritten, illustrated letter about how he makes lists of what he loves when he feels sad, and how to draw a 5-minute comic—and, he hopes you’ll send him your own 5-minute comic!
To make sure this awesome letter reaches your favorite young reader, subscribe by March 27! For more information on Letters for Kids, click here.
