I refuse to accept that's a real puppy. That's a Muppet. Or a Gund stuffed dog. No way that much cute exists in the real world lol

Photo of the front cover of Wren's Aria by Helen Whistberry. It depicts a little wren who appears to have her beak open to sing among bright red poppies. Cover artwork and all illustrations are by the author, and are just beautiful.

A view inside the book at Chapter 21, "A Bit of a Climb." The opposite page shows a 3/4 page, detailed, black and white illustration of a fuzzy bee on what appears to be a globe-shaped flower blossom. The style is very much like an etching and is a lovely fusion of stylized and realistic.

Look what just came today!!

This is an absolutely stunning book and I can't wait to read it @whistberry.bsky.social ❤️❤️

I really never expected NPR to use rage bait to boost engagement, but here we are.

You got me... the black tee is MINE!

Thank you, and congratulations! ❤️

I mean... you're not wrong...

Yay!! I really want the paperback version but I want to be sure I buy it from the best location for you to get the best return... do you have a preferred storefront or does it matter?

Same 😆

Weeds are just flowers that don't play hard to get. Which is why they are so underappreciated.

Gorgeous! 🩷

Did the Greeks tell Homer to stop reciting the Odyssey? I think not!

Approaching my 60s far too quickly for my liking…

By tacky you mean awesome, right?

The Onion has got to be pissed they didn't think of this first @bencollins.bsky.social

Good lord now I have the Witchipoo "Nothing Rhymes with Orange" song in my head. I can't remember what I had for lunch two days ago but I remember that!

Sigmund!!

Noooooo!!!

There goes a huge part of my childhood. ☹️ RIP

That's not a crimb, it's a job description.

Beautiful! Will it be available in hardcopy?

I hereby crown thee, Daddest of the Dads.

This whole week has been magical. I'm so grateful we were able to go along for the ride, get to know this crew, share in their wonder. It was more than I hoped for.

Still and always the BOSS!

Part of my soul lives in Firenze. ❤️

My son was a teen when we went, and watching his face light up as he said, "HEY, I KNOW THIS PLACE!!!" was just adorable.

Exactly!

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who thought of this 😆

I cannot describe how emotional it feels to be watching #artemisII live. It's surreal... and makes me want to believe in a better future.

The evidence before the court is... incontrovertible! There's no need for the jury to retire!

Easter For years I trusted ruin was the only beauty. Now I wake my one son in the darkness, and carry him to find the gifts I've hidden. Three times I have courted death in this one life—with whiskey, with bitter pills, with winter— my own heart like a traitor with its kiss. No more, no more closing. Now I stand in morning with this child and the blossoms lift their faces to the radiance. Love says two things, and one is greater: I would die for you. I would rise for you, and live. —Joseph Fasano

Easter is here.
