I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

For everyone who loves Margery Williams classic story, The Velveteen Rabbit, @dc-litchfield.bsky.social has illustrated a new picturebook version. It’s as delightful and charming as the original. A must-have book for all who love this poignant tale and everyone else too!

Oh absolutely. Twitter was my fave. I still actually have it but just never use it. I have a vague hope that M*sk will soon get bored of it/go to jail/something else horrible, and it will revert back to how it was.
Yes I hear you. I'm tired too. Maybe it is time to move on from socials.

This is so lovely Kim. Thank you to you and your daughter 😊
@dc-litchfield.bsky.social Hello, David. My daughter bought My Friend, Billy Whiskers today. We read it together as soon as we got home. It was so beautiful, we spoke about it for ages after. It’s such a joy to see a book spark that kind of excitement. We’re big fans in our house 💛🦁

…l don’t know. Is anyone else finding this? Is it even a bad thing? Maybe social media is dying in general, which to be honest, is probably ok. Maybe. Possibly 🤔 Sorry for the mild rant. ❤️ 3/3

There are so many nice lovely people on here but they seemed to be getting lost in the noise for me.part of me feels that there is still a benefit to sharing colourful and beautiful things on here that will hopefully cut through but it seems to be getting a lot harder to find an audience for this2/3

I’ve sort of pulled back from social media over these past few months. It’s gone from something that was so essential to promoting what I do into something that I almost dread looking at. Like it’s just more admin or something….1/3

The Bear, the Piano and Little Bear's Concert by @dc-litchfield.bsky.social
If you ever had to give up on a dream and found a new one, then this is the book for you.
It made our hearts leap & reminded us why we will always be valued.
Buy it as a gift for any child (big and small).
Thank you David!

No. 12 in my #FavePicturebooks25: “My Friend, Billy Whiskers” by @dc-litchfield.bsky.social, a tender triumph of imaginary friendship, courage & empathy. Dreamy art, gentle storytelling make a snowy-day hug in book form. Kids feel seen, brave & beautifully understood. #PicturebookPage
