ON NONFICTION FRI, I 💛 seeing educator MRS. HEWING of CENTRAL SCHOOL BOOK TALKS discussing BETWEEN THE LINES. Wow! So honored that my picture book collaboration with BRYAN COLLIER is an Illinois 2020 BLUESTEM AWARD nominee! https://t.co/VYVpzF4cDH

@bluestemaward As a football player in the 1960s who didn’t earn much money, Ernie Barnes was offered $20,000 for his 1st football painting called THE BENCH but turned it down. Ernie kept the painting as a reminder of his artistic dream. Here’s the palette he painted it with. #Bluestem2020
