Keep reading books. Keep writing books. In any form that suits you. Our freedom depends on it.
It's not the first time I've said this, and it won't be the last. Reading is fundamental to freedom. 💙📚

Beautiful book.
THE COUCH IN THE YARD is a beautiful #picturebook by Kate Hoefler and Dena Seiferling! Celebrates everyday wonder and joy, imagination, and family love. This book is an ode to life in rural America. Gorgeous illustrations!! #amreading #kidlit

Beautiful book.
This is so fantastic ! I like it much better done by artists.
I love that artists are taking over this trend. I chose children's books, waffles, coffee, a library card, and a laptop with a draw-on screen. Did I forget anything? What would be in your starter pack? #starterpack #noAi #artistsoninstagram
