Update: I made a map of the responses I've received so far, and it's SO FUN! Take a look here: https://t.co/stEbAcTsiA

Some of the responses are from outside the path of totality, & that's okay too! So feel free to join the fun, no matter where you watched the #solareclipse!

[Callie B. Dean @CallieBDean]

Hi all-- I'm coordinating a collaborative, multimedia arts project featuring images and words from last month's solar eclipse. If you were in the path of totality, would you consider sharing one of your eclipse photos for this project? https://t.co/aY0IHb975E

[Callie B. Dean @CallieBDean]

@GennieGorback That’s a big and under-appreciated milestone!

[Callie B. Dean @CallieBDean]

@JennyTwrites @MollyIppolito @randomhousekids These are so fun!

Waking up to the news that LISTENING TO THE QUIET is included on Bank Street College of Education’s list of Best Children’s Books of the Year! Such an honor! @lantanapub

@clhubes Ohhhh, this is our current reality. My husband was literally en route to pick up the bouncy house for tomorrow’s party when our kid started running fever. Maybe since we succumbed to fate, you won’t have to?! I think that’s how it works…

[Callie B. Dean @CallieBDean]

@halforange Thank you Hannah! That would be awesome... I can't wait to see their pictures!
