Nothing like the thought of a child in danger to stimulate the thought muscle

It was interesting to see the different reactions to the idea of the drawing. Some people are instantly drawn to the gentleness of the image. But, at the same time, others were confused by the idea of a child so close to a large animal. It seems it depends on our experiences to how we would react to any visualization…. Parents were concerned while singles instantly noticed the love 😊

Thanks for the support Queensland Government and Moreton Bay Regional Council
