Most Marshmallows

Loved the art, enjoyed the message, love the end. One star off because the gratuitous gender-marking of the grown-up marshmallows feels weird and forced (eyelashes on the presumed mother, a suitcoat and tie on the presumed father). I prefer the way that all the kids have the same weird hair and eyes and no one has visible mouths unless required.

Conventional marshmallows are compared to more imaginative, empowered marshmallows who dream big dreams. The art is the star of the show here: "the pictures were built out of marshmallows, construction paper, cake sprinkles, cardboard, acorn tops, twisty ties, pencil, and whatever else was needed."

Cute!!!!
