Rich time at the ACLU/IL lunch yesterday with my pal @carynrivadeneira.bsky.social. Reminded that "Courage is contagious" (Colleen Connell) and filled with ideas and perspective by Sherrilyn Ifill. (Paraphrase: We are a thorn in the side of authoritarians. We do not cut deals.) Thank you @aclu.org!
Working on edits of the third book in "The Consider Series." The first, "Consider the Birds," will be published this fall. I love the beautiful illustrations juliannaswaney.com has created for the books. More at www.eerdmans.com/978080285562.... #writingcommunity #kidlit #spirituality #illustration
