I don't think this event was sponsored on BlueSky this year, but I had fun doing these two covers for The Imagined Book Cover challenge on Instagram. They gave me an opportunity to experiment a little and smile to myself during an otherwise busy week! #imaginedbookcover #imaginedbookcover2025

May your days be merry and bright, but not TOO bright! I'm Laura Alderson, a storyteller and illustrator who likes humor and poignance. Represented by @sarahbrewyard.bsky.social at The Bright Agency. #kidlitartpostcard

Let’s help this family get their violin back! Quote from my daughter many years ago: “My violin feels like a part of my arm.” Musicians form special bonds with their instruments.

Dear Friends, My daughter’s violin was stolen from our home by a cleaning service and I know that it is a long shot, but I am desperately seeking it.
