Hello, I'm Julia. I write and illustrate children's books. My favorite subjects are sleeping kids, snowed in streets, funky animals, and musicians of any kind. Check out my website https://t.co/uh6DT16tQU #portfolioday

@hahussain An interesting point was made by Alexei Arestovich, Ukraine’s public figure: the further away from the home country and the front lines, the more bloodthirsty the sentiment of the ‘patriots’. They denounce any attempts at piece and call for bloodbaths - all from the safe distance

Can't find the better time to come back to social media than these cold, wet days of November. Doggo and I love wondering along the woody paths that are the best part of our neighborhood.

Today, Russia's shelling destroyed another book printing house in Kharkiv.

In Ukraine, Kharkiv is known as "the capital of book publishing." More than 80% of Ukrainian books are published there.

For Yosif, who works to help put food on the table, a trip to circus is a gift. Meeting a boy who buys him the ticket for the best seat, is a greater gift. Then Yosif meets a younger boy who lost his money and learns that giving a gift may be the greatest gift of all #PB #PitMad

Why’s the cat watching stars? Waiting for one to fall to make a wish? Why does the dog bark at the wind? Who knows? To make it blow harder? So many questions, and only one place to find answers. #PB #PitMad #humor

In Mama’s office everyone speaks a different language. “Hello, I’m your interpreter, how can I help?” Words, words, words, Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Russian. A quilt of beautiful words that make us different. And bring us together. #PB #PitMad #immigration

DEVON IS A DRAGON.
He waddles his way to the great cave to meet the others like himself, but he’s halted at the entrance.
“DRAGONS ONLY!”
He’ll have to use logical arguments and a bit of wit to prove what should be obvious—he is, in fact, a dragon, NOT a duck.

PUFFY SHOES
A giant comes to the tiny musical town of Summerville. The music is a perfect fit for her fancy dance moves, but her huge feet are tearing the town to pieces. She’ll have to soften her stomps in a big way if she’s to attend any future dance parties. #PitMad #pb
