I forgot about how I wanted to migrate my socials over to here! Life has been busy - wrapping a fun hand-painted project for @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social and diving headfirst into production with my heart-project over at Annick Press (thank you to a grant from the Canada Council of the Arts ❤️)

Wonderful series of workshops last week. During “Faisons des faces” (“Making Faces”), the kids learn how to really look at a face and draw what they see. Also, we make silly faces at each other. These little buddies were in grade 1, I saw 7 classes in 2 days ❤️❤️

Books are lifesaving. Research shows that when schools offer inclusive reading materials, LGBTQ+ students report feeling safer and better mental health outcomes. When provided with a wide variety of books, youth are Empowered by Reading: uniteagainstbookbans.org#white-paper #UniteAgainstBookBans

Below three pictures (two of a parent/caregiver reading a book with a child, the other of a young person looking at a book) is the text: Empowered by Reading. The Benefits of Giving Youth Access to a Wide Variety of Reading Materials.

Working on next fundraiser for the beloved dogs of DAR Animal Rescue! Each donation gets a link to a personalized dog-en-tine, and one entry to a draw to win a print of this poster below! I’ll figure out all my links and stuff and share with all y’all!😅
