Good luck to Mary Frances Rauch and Claire McTaggart of the Saint Ignatius Chicago #Rowing Varsity Womenโs team! They are headed out of state to compete at the Midwest Junior Rowing Championship in Bethel, OH this weekend, a qualifier for the USRowing Youth National Champs
Received minutes ago from @oleg_veretskiy in a rare moment of access from the frontline:
Right now, Iโm reviewing Dasha's (illustrator Daria Kochnieva) work on the chapter sketches for Book 2, and Iโm amazed by the way she conveys the intended atmosphere and mood. I can immediately see the charactersโ personalities โ in their gestures, in their poses, in the angles she chooses, and in the way she builds the compositions and collages together. I really love the character and the style itself. And I understand that this is still only schematic for now โ all the details, depth, and refinement will be added later. This is exactly what we discussed during the online meeting (below), what we talked about before, and what we hoped for. I think itโs going to be really amazing. I truly, truly love this direction."

"'Oceans Alive' can show you, your family, and friends ways to learn about and help protect our seas. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something to safeguard the ocean, Earth's blue heart." Dr. Sylvia Earle

๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐ชธ๐ฌ๐๐
The intrepid, kilt-clad Daniel McDougal McDouglas McFly and his troop of friends bravely step up to save the ocean and help endangered animals and plants survive against incredible odds. Parents will appreciate the positive message that the book sends to their children about caring for the environment and preserving the precious gifts of the Earth. Written in beguiling couplet verse.
