Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This day honours and remembers the children who were forced into Canada's Residential School system.
It was first observed as Orange Shirt Day in 2013 and was elevated to a statutory holidy for federal workers in 2021.

In a spooky night-time scene, a girl  - approximately 14 with shoulder-length brown hair and wearing jeans and a denim jacket - crouches on a dirt driveway and looks behind her in consternation. Behind her is a large dark house with peaked gables and spiky points sticking out of the roof and a tall tower. The top floor of the tower is lit - the only illumination in the house - and a figure is silhouetted in the window. Behind the house are fir trees and a huge full moon. the entire scene is in spooky greens and blues.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard day, I'm Mike! I usually post cheerful scenes but this month I'm showing some range with a new spooky MG cover illustration instead.

I'm also excited to share that I'm now repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social at CMA! 🎉
