Here’s my big old 2021 book roundup . I think graphic novels and nonfiction (!) really stood out this year (and a handful of picture books, which I didn’t draw each month because I’d be painting for another entire year).

An old favourite next to a happy new find. This is the version of The Night Before Christmas I had as a child, and when I saw it I knew it had to come home with me. I had the exact same reaction when I came across Silent Night; a book that depicts the Holy Family as they should be. Meaning they aren’t white. The art is spectacular, and my daughter and I really enjoyed looking through all of the pictures. I definitely recommend it.

Books and tea! What else do you need to bring home from vacation? Super excited that I was finally able to track down We Don’t Eat Our Classmates. Also that mix and match book on the left is gorgeous and fun and amazing. Add two Abby Howard Earth Before Us books, two used romance novels, and a pile of different teas, and I’m a super happy reader.

Watching The Tudors, and reading about what really happened. I love when I can find the fact behind the fiction, and both stories are equally as enjoyable.

Desert Bus week is one of my favorite weeks every year. So many great humans raising money to cheer up children in hospitals, as well as in family shelters. For anyone unaware desertbus.org raises money every year for Child’s Play Charity by playing the world’s most boring video game for 24 hours every day for about a week straight. Last I checked they’d raised over 700k this year (and over 5 million lifetime), and they still have a couple of hours left.
.
Thanks for everything you do, Desert Bus.

I’m sick. I’m settling in with miso soup, a hot toddy, leftover Halloween candy, and a pile of books that need finished.

Here’s what I love about well done children’s books: it doesn’t matter what age you are, they’re a good time. My kids are in the double digits, and eeking ever closer to their teen years, and yet I still pick up new picture books on a regular basis. They’re fun to sit down to read together, or to use to get ideas for drawing, or even great tools to help combat anxiety. These two books are particularly great for all three of those things!

It’s the day before Halloween! This is my pumpkin. His name is David. He’s posing with this pretty book by celebrities, about celebrities. It’s not very spooky though, so I also took a picture of David with a book featuring the terrifying Henry VIII, and his wives. Many of whom died horribly, and at least one of whom is a famous, spooky ghost.

Whenever I asked my sister to create a character for a story I was writing when we were kids, they always ended up obsessed with dragons.
Can’t say I blame her!
