Jabari Tries x To Make
Sarafina wants to make beautiful pottery just like Daddy. So, she thwack, thuds, and slaps until... "Ta-da!" 🙌
But when she wants to take a glimpse of her almost-finished pot a little too soon... CRASH! 🥹
Will she have the courage to start again?

I've seen basic questions re LISTS and FEEDS.
Everyone can create LISTS of users, i.e. my list of anyone w/ kidlit interests, or
@charlenedraws.bsky.social's illustrator lists. Following a list means following EVERYTHING that all the people on that list share... 1/3 👇
