ACLU@aclu.org · 7mo agoBREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

Someday, this is going to be over. When it is we will have so much work to do trying to heal what's been shattered, and to mourn how much has been lost. And after we've grappled with how to do both, we are going to go after the centrists who got us here.

#libraryloot The librarian called me a #poweruser. LOL I was there on a Sunday evening and the place was brimming with activity. A sweet boy serenaded himself as I picked out books in the graphic novel aisle. Families hang out, socialize, and read, of course. What a wonderful #readingtime #readers
BONE + BLOSSOM This is inspired by Alice & Mary from North Woods by Daniel Mason. That book absolutely enraptured me. Daniel Mason is incandescent in his darkness and eccentric in wit. It’s a treasure. I hope you’ll read it. #folktaleweek #illustration #mixedmedia @folktaleweek.bsky.social

ILLUSTRATORS! We are actors, cinematographer, + EVERYTHING ELSE
Brian LaRossa@brianlarossa.com · 2y agoEven people with deep publishing experience get confused about the roles in #kidlit publishing. I use a filmmaking analogy to build a bridge. Book Editor = Producer Art Director = Director Book Designer = Film Editor Author = Screenwriter Illustrator = Actors, Cinematographer, + EVERYTHING ELSE
#Folktaleweek has officially started and I am exited to join with this little adventure…. Come and join me🦙🌴🌺
