Anika loves to run and draw, and you’ll find several of her sketches and poems about things she’s been experiencing at the end of chapters, like this one:
Who you are
is what is left
when stripped of all titles, possessions, status,
and assumptions about who you are.
If I met you standing alone
in the forest,
on the prairie,
on an airy mountain peak
or a crowded city sidewalk,
who would I find behind your eyes?
