Thanks Salma. It was the very first flag project for #DrawingHopeFlags back in 2021 Never imagined it would reach America 😀

When it comes to writing, i prioritise creating content that promotes the well-being of children and young people. This project wouldn’t have been possible without the brilliantly talented illustrator Ursula Hurst. #sensitivetopics #children #youngpeople #wellbeing #writing
