How very cool! Lydia looks like she’s a lot of fun to be around, too. I love the backpack…

Congratulations to Connor for his fantastic drawing! Your interview revealed that he has remarkable insight and compassion, considering his age. I wish more adults would emulate him!

It’s a lovely cartoon and the explanation/identity doesn’t limit Lydia. I don’t understand the context, but assuming Lydia will be used, she could have a very active future.

I think this says alot. Connor chose something that Marc has never thought about, disabilities. It makes disabled children who watch Arthur relate to the character more.
