Folk Art, line drawings of a flow of singing people winding down a city street. View of the people from behind, with colorful winter beanies and hoodies. The words Hold On representing city buildings along the avenue. Snowy evening. Snow falling.

Minneapolis, I miss you. Hold On

A framed art print by Sophie Blackall. A dark haired girl paddles an open book, down a make believe stream. The art piece sits on a stack of colorful quilts.

Some days my imagination needs a vacation. Sophie Blackall’s art and stories help when I’m wistful or weary. I see this dreamy character every day and I’m thankful.

I met this little girl on a Saturday. We talked about violins & my sock puppets. On Sunday, she returned to the festival with her fiddle and the sock puppet she made Saturday evening — to show me on Sunday!! We played tunes together and laughed at our precious puppets. Oh my heart! #SCMA #NTIF

I’m off. Deactivated. Scrubbed my posts a few months ago & today—gone. I won’t miss that creepy X. But it’s been hard to leave a virtual community of all things kid lit. Hope to try harder to find everyone here.

I’m thankful to
bsky.app/profile/debb... for creating so much helpful info for the #kidlit community here.

I want to leave the formerly twitter space but am afraid of abandoning the community there, happy memories, pitch events, chats, PB writers & librarians.

Thanks for paving the way Debbie!
