From as far back as I can recall, sketching tiny characters has always been a source of immense joy and optimism for me. This passion took on a new form after I became a mother. I began penning short, affectionate notes for my children on a nearly daily basis, carefully placing them in unexpected spots — their school bags, lunch boxes, on the bathroom mirror, nestled within their pillows, and tucked away in the refrigerator. Each note was accompanied by a whimsical drawing, guaranteed to elicit laughter and an affectionate "MOM" from them. I understood that growing up could be challenging, and through these small gestures, I aimed to sprinkle a bit of the fun and wonder I experienced in my own childhood into theirs, reminding them that life's beauty often lies in its simplicity and the joy we choose to find in it.
