Joshua Dirnberger The Felix that’s the best

Age 9

9-12 year olds

I drew my cousin because he is family. I don’t have any [extended] family who I get to see much. Felix loves me so much. He even has a bookmark with my face on it next to his bed, which he says goodnight to. I love that. This is mine for him. I drew this background because it’s where I see him the most. This is the real thing.
