Illustration from Blair Braverman's book "The Day Leap Soared". A dark grey Alaskan husky with brown ears is leaping over water with closed eyes and a serene smile. Her wavy reflection is mirrored below. Above her is a big full moon, and a sky at twilight full of colorful stars. She's framed by big trees the color of the sky. You can see where she leaped off of the bank on the left side because she's left pawprints on the snow in her wake.

Yes, I am. It went in waves. I went from being a shy kid to a teen and early 20s with many friends and long conversations in large groups of strangers, but now I can say that since moving to Canada, I have no friends here and have forgotten how to speak lol.

Collage and paint illustration in pinks, greens, and yellows: a classroom scene where kids are raising their hands for a teacher who is holding a book called fish facts. One of the students is a bear under his desk, are fish and fish skeletons.

Thanks, Farah!

Good idea. I think I'll easily remember now too. Thanks.

I follow Gina, but it gets lost in the crowd. I am also not here as often as I'd like to be. I'll try to fix that!

Thanks! I'll try to remember :)

Ohh, so it's quarterly! I'd never noticed the date pattern! Thanks so much for the link.

Oh, thanks so much, Gina! That is very helpful!

When is #kidlitartpostcard usually? I tend to miss it (and other days such as the portfolio ones) is there a set time for them to presict or do they get announced somewhere?

I like to call this piece “Hope”, it was born at a very emotional time this past month, for personal reasons but also because of everything happening around the world. Migration is not a bad thing, We, the POC are not bad just for being different. But I want to believe we are more the good people. Picture of a little poc girl with yellow butterflies
