If you haven’t been watching Ken Burns’s The American Revolution on PBS this week I highly recommend it. History is layered, and complex, and there’s always more to learn. I especially enjoyed last night’s episode about New York!

The art is en route to the publisher! It’s always hard for me to let it go. This book was especially intense, and it was so very satisfying to get lost in the making. (Random studio cat agrees.)
EARTH: One Planet’s Epic Story coming soon with @abramskids. Yay! 🌎🌍🌏

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Somehow I missed the Publisher’s Weekly newsletter last week, with a new book announcement! This one has been in the works for an eon or so. Or at least an epoch. 😊🌎📚💕
