I’ve never seen her Alice or Hobbit illustrations, but her artwork for her Moomin books was a large part of the magic while reading them as a child. Even returning to them as an adult, I find them very special. Just recently bought her autobiography of her childhood which I have to get around to reading. I’ve also got a third picture book coming from England that I couldn’t get here. Thanks for the link.
If you haven’t read them, you should give them a go. Especially if you have a kid you know who needs a present.
I can safely say I have never read a single Moomin - gonna have to give it a whirl, I can easily pass them along to my niece
Congratulations! A bronze level Penelope for joo!: https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/awards/bronze.html
man must be hell trying to run outside with the plague and everything, and I'd imagine running with a mask would be much harder. Maybe really early it's easier to avoid people while running?
Hey I actually started running and riding my bike like crazy during the outbreak. Most people on the road and trails are mindful of space, but not everybody. That's why I like to pocket a mask or go in the middle of the day or later in the evening when there are fewer people out. If I'm on a narrow trail for a while, I'll just wear the mask. The blue paper masks aren't too bad for this.
It makes me happy to hear you have something to throw yourself into like this. Everyone should have a passion that they throw themselves into like that.
Oh man, you make me feel lazy. Hahah!
