They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down. So I got down THIS hill and YOU time it?
We want them abolished.
Award week seems (to me) to be a very tidy wrapping up of last year's work. I'm pleased and very grateful that the final bow on JIM! comes with this incredible quote: "...a blueprint for all future picture book biographies."
Thank you, @cybilsawards.bsky.social and @achrishelton.bsky.social! 🦊⭐⭐⭐
Heyoo! Thanks for featuring JIM!
Elizabeth! So good to hear from you!

Graphic celebrating a picture book being included on the Chicago Public Library's "Best of 2025" list. Illustration has a cartoon fox bowing his head in gratitude, while standing next to the book in question, JIM! Six True Stories About One Great Artist: James Marshall written and illustrated by Jerrold Connors. Above the book is the Chicago Public Library logo (a blue square and a red star), and a small square badge that reads "Best of the Best".
JIM! makes it onto its first Best of 2025 list. Thank you, Chicago Public Library for this wonderful honor!

My favorite Carter Burwell work might be Norville's Suite from The Hudsucker Proxy but the The Wicked Flee from True Grit has been scratching an itch I've had lately.
Still can't get over how good Abi's photos make my book look. 🧡💛
I know that guy!
Cover of "Inks & Paints of the Middle East: A handbook of Abbasid Art Technology", with a geometric composition displaying some of the main pigments involved, with brushes and paint pans made of walnut shells.
Is there anyone on Bsky who remembers this book? It's been out of print for a while, because it needs revising in the light of 5 more years of research & experience (including a proper translation of Umdat ul-Kuttab). Being unpaid work, I've simply not been able to prioritise this, so I've decided…
I used to be so bitter thinking it was a rip-off artist!!!
It's all in Abi's photos. She makes it look gooood!
