Today I would like to recognize Ada Lovelace-—the mother of computer programming Mary Anning—the mother of palaeontology and Stephanie Kwolek—the mother of Kevlar Lastly I would like to recognize Joy Jensen—the mother of me. She was a creative, intelligent, loving woman. I miss her dearly.

Rather than being about overtly preachy books, it seems like “didactic” is being used to describe any book that has knowledge in it. Isn’t that a basic function of books?? Isn’t that why we love books?? Isn’t that WHY Matilda went to the library?? What ARE we even if we devalue those books?

I’ve written and illustrated my debut picture book. It’s a winter setting and spring is almost here, but “Warmest Winter Heart” celebrates the timeless qualities of fun, friendship, and kindness - always in season.

I went thrifting today and found my grandmother’s china pattern! I am giddy about it. The pattern is April Rose and the set I bought has 32 pieces. I found a similar set on ETSY for 10 times what I paid, so it was a good deal! I now have service for up to 15.
