Wonderful artwork! I am posting resources for Endangered Species Day on my website http://www.worshipwords.co.uk and would like to know if I might include some of this artwork on the post.
Each piece – so outstanding – both in terms of the the artwork, AND the story it tells. Thanks so much, everyone!
