Did we ever get much studying done?

After all, autumn comes but once a year. (And if you’re like me, you have to keep reminding yourself to get outside and enjoy it). #kidlitart #kidlit #scbwi #illustration #illustrator22 Oct 2026 11:28 +0000at://did:plc:ucfdbqlwmf2jf37cmwrqa72u/app.bsky.feed.post/3myhkogz7p223https://bsky.app/profile/laurapiggott.bsky.social/post/3mxkc5dxs4s2eSaturday sketching on a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.
