I only occasionally read romance, but this has maybe been one of my favourite reads. It's an incredibly sweet queer romance about a missed connection via text while the 2 women are in different times (5 months apart) and trying to prevent the one in the past from disappearing in the present. 💙📚

The other day we drove past a large cemetery in my city and my 5 year old asked me if it was the haunted forest 😂

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

I hadn't actually heard about this book until now but it sounds like it has such a great message, so I'll pick it up for my kids. I feel so bad for the authors, their visit was canceled when they were already there and ready to present
If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I had hoped to share a finished new piece I've been working on but I've been busy prepping to teach a painting class in my usual time slot I reserve for illustration work. I'm teaching it this weekend so it was crunch time. This is a bit older but works for October 😁

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! Seeking representation, and open to PB and MG projects! I didn't get a chance to finish anything new for today, I have a few WIPs so next month! But I didn't use the right tag on this one last time, so this still sort of counts? Excited to see everyone's art!

youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa... I cried a few times throughout this. Keep caring about Gaza, and doing what you can even if little. Also the title is just a springboard for conversation, Ms. Rachel has been a vocal advocate and beautiful human being. There's a lot to this video, very well thought out.

I found this fabric at value village for like 10 bucks, and also found an unused sewing pattern from the 80's for a button-up shirt and wrap shorts set there as well. This is the result of sewing it up! I find thrifting fabric really fun, it feels like treasure hunting. #sewing #sewingksy
