I posted this a year ago but it's even more appropriate now. Canadians are so grateful to have a grown up at the wheel.

Getting the manuscript right, for the right publisher - is not easy.
By Jean-Jacques Sempé - an artist hero of great talent.
In stores today 'Lucky Dog Comes Home' from #pajamapress and written by John Spray. The story of one mailman, a few dogs, and the power to bring joy back to a grieving community—inspired by a celebrated WWII veteran. 🍁🗽
Imagine being inspired by the guy who did a cameo in Home Alone 2.
So nice to get such a great review. I loved illustrating this book. It's out now, available in all the usual places!
The Emperor's new clones. Leavitt, Noem and Bondi. Ugh.
Out for a walk with a friend and we came across this frightened guy in Vancouver's Stanley Park. I hope he made it home ok. #stanleypark #vancouver #rewilding
Happy World Clean Up Day. It's a bit of a mess out there, get out and help clean things up! 😀 If you need to inspire the kids, why not pick up a copy of 'King of the Dump' by Tim Wynne-Jones and illustrated by me. You can get it online or #kidsbooks in Vancouver BC. #booksky #independent #bookstore
I dropped by Vancouver Kids Books on Broadway to sign King of the Dump: a picture book about recycling, green living, big machinery, recycling and learning to let of things we no longer need. Signed copies available at the Broadway location while supplies last. @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social

Is it Global Garbage Man Day already! 👏Take a minute to remember the Sanitation men and women who keep our lives clean, neat and tidy! 🏆 Visit a dump. read a book, put something in the bin! Happy GGMD! 😍
I don't want to thump my chest and say we're the best - that's what our downstairs neighbour does, but I gotta say I'm so proud to be Canadian when our PM takes time for a flag raising ceremony for the LGBTQ community during Pride month. Lucky us, lucky Canada.🍁
