The cover has a light blue sky in the upper half. Charlotte's Web is written in blue-green letters, all joined by a spider's web. Hanging down from the C in Charlotte is a spider on a thread. In the lower half is a young girl in a[ponytail, wearing a red top. She's facing left, towards the spider, holding a pig under her left arm. A sheep looks on on the left. A goose looks on on the right. She's leaning on a wooden fence, on which the author's name is printed in red and Garth Williams's in black.

Ch. 7: Charlotte’s Web

The story behind the story. White decides to write about a spider; many drafts and “ripening time” later, he takes it to #UrsulaNordstrom; they collaborate with Garth Williams.
And what a result! #nonfictionkidlit #abramsbooks

A friend made me a thing! And it’s very cute! It’s for holding badges/pins when I’m not using them. I love the design and really appreciate the work that went into this. Thank you!

Donald Trump has literally taken at least 10 years off the life of every American in this country.
With his constant chaos.

Trump

Starmer

NEW: Trump says UK PM Starmer, “should be giving us, without question or hesitation, things like bases”. (New York Post)

Astonishing that the US president thinks he can issue commands to the leaders of foreign nations, including allies.

Countries need to keep telling him “no”. Sovereignty matters.

When the world is frantic, it’s good to take a moment to pause.

‘Tree and Mountains’ is simple, minimal, contemplative.

Perhaps you’ll pause here a moment and reconnect with now.

as a constant-yet-fluctuating disaster, which for most people mostly happens in the news, but if you work in a related field it's changed everything, and at any time the effects can randomly devastate someone you know or somewhere you live,

this presidential administration is weirdly like COVID

Pets are so weird like it's just this little individual that lives in your house and you can't speak to each other but you're just best friends.

Trump shouts the quiet part out loud—he must be involved in choosing new leadership in Iran. His regime change agenda is a path toward American troops on the ground. Bombing alone can’t achieve it. Our nation’s sons & daughters will be in harm's way.

Cambridge river scene in watercolour and dip pen with Indian ink on Fabriano Artistico paper (watermark just visible). A few ducks swimming and perched on the bridge. The blue sign says "Scudamores Boatyards". Very pleased to look back on the energy I could put into this painting while sitting on the bank of Laundress Green.

My watercolour drawing done on the spot in 1991 showing the water rushing through under the foot bridge that links Mill Lane with Laundress Green. Glad I've got a nice photo of the original as I don't know who has it now. See alt text.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Charlotte's Web was! I remember reading it on the subway, going someplace e with my parents, with tears streaming down my face!

I don't think I realized the Frances books were his. Probably because I read them a few years before the LH books, Stuart Little, Charlotte's Web and The Cricket in Times Square. I wasn't yet tuned in to all things Garth Williams.

He did Charlotte's Web (another EB White book) and The Cricket in Times Square as well.

I was remembering that book just yesterday!
