If there's one wonderful aspect having a part-time job, it would be the ability to diversify yourself. While it's nice to be able to see people other than your family on a 24 - 7 basis, this is not the biggest benefit I've discovered by working at the Royal Alberta Museum.

This really gives me the chance to experiment, which is very needed in this business of illustration.

by Carol Foskett Cordsen illustrated by Douglas B. Jones Puffin paperback 2007 Hearkening back to another era, this picture book takes a warm-n-fuzzy look at a day in the life of the old fashioned door-to-door milkman.
