Zoë Kennon My new baby cousin Arinya in beautiful nature

Age 6

5-8 year olds

I have chosen to draw Arinya because she is very little and has very chubby cheeks, and she is very cute, and I love helping to look after her. I love her name, which my uncle told me means beautiful in Thai and kangaroo in an Aboriginal language.
