Factory smoke stack with word "Hope" written on it. Beneath smoke stack, a rental sign "For Lease", so together the signs create a phrase, "Hope For Lease."

"Hope for Lease." From today's walk on a sunny, cold day.

Book end papers in predominantly yellow, green, and pink. They feature a fairy with her little pet dragon and several butterfly motifs. There is also a pink bookplate that reads “This book belongs to:”

The artist’s name, Deborah Paquette, along with her email address, deborahpaquette@shaw.ca, and her website, www.deborahpaquette.com, are listed.

There is also a QR code for the website.

End papers, anyone? #KidLitArtPostcard day is upon us and today I decided to post something a bit different. I am an author/illustrator looking for representation and new projects. You can find my work at: www.deborahpaquette.com #kidlitart #kidlitpostcard #repeatingpattern #kidlit #illustration

Amazing speech by @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the 250 year anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride and all of the other people who were a part of it. She writes about how little things can add up to impact history.

A crowd of people demonstrating outside in front of the Lincoln Memorial on a clear, sunny day. Some of the signs read “Science over Stupidity,” “Science Makes America Great,” and “Team Public Health, Not Team Measles.”
