\nToday I’m highlighting The Drawing Brigade, a healthcare outreach project started by author-illustrator Bethany Barton<\/a><\/strong> and author-illustrator Katherine Roy<\/a><\/strong>. The two began this as a response to the growing COVID-19 crisis, and their mission is, as they put it, to “deliver joy through drawing to our nation\u2019s healthcare workers during this time of need.” <\/p>\n

They are asking anyone who wants to contribute, young and old, to make drawings to thank healthcare workers; take a photo of their drawing; and send it to them. From there, they will take the artwork and digitally send it to hospitals so that staff there can display the artwork on their screens and\/or print it out for their staff rooms, as well as share them on the Drawing Brigade’s social media platforms. Pictured above is a recent contribution from Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Here is a short video about the Drawing Brigade’s mission, as explained by both Katherine and Bethany:
