toothbrushes, cappuccino and sisterhood

I met Kate at a yoga workshop and we both felt we should know each other.
 
I feel that even more strongly after seeing this. She and her sister are working on a year-long illustrated narrative about sisterness. It’s perfect. When I read it, my brain and heart and body all fluttered in that happy-resonant way: hey, I steal my sisters’ toothbrushes! And yes, sometimes I want to be the little sister, too.
 
I love that the illustrations are floaty and dreamy while the message is totally sturdy.

One word: July.

And more words: showing Ada and Owen lightning bugs and campfires and swimming in the pond and making jam.

And more words: Apple butter makes you a hero for more than just one day. June/July can't get here soon enough. For that matter, neither can Christmas.
