I feel like Moritz wouldn’t be much of a fan of insects compared to Oliver

"Here's the last part of my autobiography, Moritz. Here's what Mom wanted to distract me from."

I need more people to know about this hidden gem of a book! It's easily become one of my all-time favorites, especially as someone who's experienced the joys & heartaches that accompany a long-distance deep friendship, it spoke to my heart in a special way💜

"Because You'll Never Meet Me" and its sequel "Nowhere Near You" have quickly become my latest book-loves, and as an illustrator I just couldn't fight the urge to re-create BYNMM as if I'd had the honor of designing it!

"I have to tell you something now that I should have told you before. Before I even permitted myself to speak to you. I have to tell you about Dr. Merrill's anechoic chamber."

Post your art, poetry, fic, analyses, memes, incoherent rambling, etc. with the tag #eggweek2022 so other fans can see it! We’ll also be reblogging all the submissions here on the blunderkinder blog. (Feel free to mention us in the post if you want to make extra sure we see it!)
