Meet Rainbow Warrior — An Invented and Homemade Halloween Costume Superhero

The Mouse, age 7, invented a superhero named Rainbow Warrior late last month. Her mind is a wheel that never stops spinning, even when it veers off into a ditch. Round and round and round it goes. She and I created her hero’s logo in Adobe Illustrator and then she […]
