mental squint

 “When you are describing,

 A shape, or sound, or tint;
 Don't state the matter plainly,
 But put it in a hint;
 And learn to look at all things,
 With a sort of mental squint.”
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)

an excellent picture book writing tip to remember from Linda Garner at Paper and Parchment.

and another amazing post from Rob Sanders in his interview with Frances Gilbert, Editorial Director at Doubleday Children’s Books, Random House on his blog Picture This.
