Q&A with Audrey Ades about her new children's picture book, JASON BELONGS.

A broken brown crayon is arranged so the tip points downward, with the broken end positioned above a drawing. The drawn figure is a bundled-up child in winter clothing holding a mug with a heart on it. A line from the crayon’s broken bit, connects to the mug as if pouring liquid into it.

You never know what will come out of a broken crayon. #Uplift

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

You gotta give ‘em hop.
