Picture Book Giveaway

We are pleased to host a giveaway of the picture book, Linus, written and illustrated by Stuart Hausmann (Atheneum Books for Young Reader), out now. Enter to win a copy via the Rafflecopter below. 

About the Book: In the spirit of All Are Welcome, this gentle picture book about being yourself and inspiring change in others follows sweet, plucky Linus who doesn’t fit into the rigid confines of his straitlaced world—and learns that that’s okay.

He studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design and went on to earn his BFA with honors from the University of Texas at Arlington.

He is a winner of the Dallas Arts District’s Year on the Plaza Art Competition for his mural across from the Meyerson Symphony Center and was honored with Dallas Voice’s Best Local Artist award.
