@Krista Brea I had to share this update to my very first children’s book! A friend helped me update my character's look so Little Cristal’s hair and skin tone more closely match how I looked as a child. 🥹❤️ What a difference those little details make! Since this story comes from my real childhood, seeing the character begin to look more like the little girl I remember makes the book feel even more personal to me. I created this book in just a couple of hours during Krista Brea’s beta test of her Children’s Book Studio, and now I’m learning how much fun it is to keep refining those special details. 📚✨ I never dreamed I would be creating a children’s book, and now I’m tweaking my character, working on a cover, and talking about actually getting it into print! 😂❤️ What do you think of the new Little Cristal?
