I like this observation a lot, Mando, though no doubt I'm thinking of it in
ways different from yours. In writing, we often talk of an author's not having
found his "voice" yet. And "voice" entails more than just verbal style. I
didn't realize that children are consistent in this way. How different are the
tastes of children? -- i.e. one tends to think of all of them as drawing
identical stick figures. Bt I assume you're saying a good primary school art
teacher,
given a stack of new, unsigned drawings, could say, "This is by Judy, this by
Dan, this by Jessie, this by Paulie..."

As a writer who would "draw" a character, I'm constantly beguiled by how
perfectly "childlike" almost all little kids are.
