Picture Book Prompt 93

“It’s a sort of patronizing idea that literature for children has to feature role models of exemplary behavior. I think not only is that bogus, but it leads to really boring books.” —Mac Barnett

Imagine a really vexing character. One who would never be held up as a model of exemplary behavior. Perhaps the one who would be held up as an example of how not to be. Enter that character’s inner world. Write about them in a way that makes the reader really care about them, maybe even like them!
