Giorgio Morandi: The Poetry Of The Ordinary https://t.co/5nAFFiiQX2
I love the character of Tatsuo Kusakabe in My Neighbor Totoro. He always stops what he's doing to listen to his daughters. He doesn't dismiss what they're saying and he encourages their sense of adventure and exploration.
If I Google search parent reading to a child in art, overwhelmingly it is of Moms reading to their kids. I know my own Dad did not read to me but reading to my own sons was one of my favorite memories. I loved how we connected & bonded over stories. I enjoyed doing all the voices
Today is Father's Day. For anyone whose own father did not take the time to tell you that they loved you or are proud of you, then I will. I want you to know that I care about you and love you exactly as you are.

Good night, dear magical Twitter folk. Tonight I will leave you with Garth Williams' illustration for Bedtime for Frances by Russell Hoban.
If you feel unloved or unlovable, I just want you to know that you are both loved and lovable. My account, in some small way, is meant to be a reminder of that: a gift I offer with the hopes that whoever receives it, knows that they matter, that they are are deeply precious.
Even if there was no Bathhouse of the Spirits, I would still love to wander around the green rolling hills of Spirited Away.
Four books I am anxiously waiting for are:
Six Crimson Cranes by @LizLim
Jade Fire Gold by @junescribbles
Eva Evergreen & The Cursed Witch by @julieabebooks
A Rush of Wings by @lauraeweymouth
What are the books you are looking forward to coming out?
“The country people, indeed, did not always clearly distinguish between the Fairies and the dead. They called them both the 'Silent People'; and the Milky Way they thought was the path along which the dead were carried to Fairyland.”
