Whoever says kids love candy more than books have never experienced a #BookLadyHalloween! The sheer joy on a child’s face when they realize they get to pick out books *and* candy is priceless. Seeing them sit on the driveway to start reading is everything! Already looking forward to Year #6! 🎃📚🍫👻

Congrats to all for entering! You took the hardest step - putting your work out there to be judged. It truly was a difficult task, so no matter the outcome, please keep creating!💗
The #PBParty finalists will be announced soon. Wahoooo!
Congrats to them...& everyone who entered. You worked hard on your entry & sent new hope out. That makes you a winner!
If a 'no' gets you down, what helps take the sting away so you can dive back into PBs?

I mean, how amazing is this artwork from the incredibly talented @laurengallegos.bsky.social??? Her interpretation is more than I could’ve ever imagined!🙌🏽
NEW ART! From a prompt I got from @teresarodrigues.bsky.social and @thecatagency.bsky.social
“The air was filled with wonderful scents-
Spoiled meat, soured milk, and all sorts of rotten waste.”
