It Will All Makes Sense Someday

I visited the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY, to catch up with the “Exploring Calvin and Hobbes” exhibition. It was a nice, small show — just the right size — and a wonderful reminder of the genius of Bill Watterson. The show runs through the end of the year. Catch it if you can. 

I Love My “I Voted” Sticker — Created By a 5th-Grader!

Do you see my cool “I Voted” sticker?

It was created by a fifth-grader named Annie Morton who attends a Montessori Magnet school. She won the third-annual contest put on by the country legislature, the Albany NAACP, and the League of Women Votes of Albany County. 

Wow, Annie — thank you for using your talent and creativity for such a good cause. I love my sticker!

Nipper, tulips, and the Albany skyline. Just awesome.

As for the state of the world?

I haven’t given up hope!

Young people like Annie give us not only optimism for the future, but a reason to fight & resist in the here and now. We’re planting trees so Annie and her friends can sit in the shade. 

 

Come Say “Hello!” at the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival, 9/27

The headline says it all.

Great festival, an embarrassment of riches. 

I believe the number of authors & illustrators is at 150 and counting. 

A lot of great people.

If you can find me — in the yellow tent — please say hello!
