Seeing all the pictures of the ice coming in reminded us of this gorgeous illustration by Josee Bisaillon.
You can see more of her beautiful work, and read a
tall-tale about aging, in DANCING WITH DAISY.

I’ve been trying every day to say nice things to people, being helpful, telling people I love that I love them, letting in cars, smiling and saying hello to strangers. With so much anger the antidote has to be spreading kindness.

Resources for writers that everyone assumes you already know: a thread 🧵
Knowing the ins and outs of publishing is hard and cryptic. Here's some resources I've just learned through osmosis that you might want to bookmark for when you're querying. Let's get on the same page 😤

It’s hard to comprehend a culture where a parent acquires a military-grade weapon to protect their family against conjured human threats that will likely never materialize, but declines medically proven protection against a viral menace that’s literally surrounding them.

Last minute shoppers...may we remind you BOOKS make great gifts! Especially Canadian #KidLit Books...past it on 😉

This is absolutely awful news for the authors affected by this and everyone on one of the best publishing teams I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Sending good vibes out to my friends at the @orcabook pod - fingers crossed this resolves happily.
