Sunny’s “Stuffed Animal of the Moment” (as it tends to shift on a biweekly basis) is a small, classic Kanga from my childhood. We have no idea why she’s taken such an interest in her. She’s neither read nor seen Winnie the Pooh, although we fully intend on making those stories a part of her childhood. Nor has she been exposed to kangaroos in any other capacity. Although, we’ve now showed her a myriad of videos of kangaroos to help explain what Kanga is. I’ve even perfected my kangaroo hop.

Regardless, she takes Kanga everywhere. And heaven forbid Kanga escape her clutches in the middle of the night, we all suffer the consequences. Seriously, just look at my hairline of gray for proof.

Man, I so wish I were kidding.

Semi-related: Today Kimmy sent along a link to artist James Hance’s print series titled “Wookie The Chew.” Given that we grew up in a Star Wars loving household, a household where my father told us bedtime stories with the assitance of a Yoda hand puppet, complete with Yoda voice imitations (Why else do you think my dad is called Doda by his granddaughters?), my heart swelled with geektastic happy at the sight of these prints.

The illustrations are extra special because all proceeds go to help offset the costs of the artist’s seven year old daughter’s medical treatments. You can purchase prints here.
