. . . dysfunctional-family style! This Thanksgiving art work is from illustrator Sophie Blackall<\/strong><\/a> (interviewed back here<\/strong><\/a> in August). I don’t know about you, but I’d like to get to know the story of that<\/em> family. (To see a bigger and animated version with a holiday greeting, go to Sophie’s site<\/strong><\/a>. And thanks to her for allowing us to share this here as well.)<\/p>\n We at 7-Imp wish everyone a wonderful holiday, as folks are probably travelling today or getting ready to travel or greeting family or thawing their turkeys or tofurkeys or what-have-you. <\/p>\n Here’s to what we in our household anyway call “our gratefuls” (my girls say their “gratefuls” every night before a meal). I hope there are many gratefuls in your life this year. Eisha and I are thankful for our readers, all the willing folks who subject themselves to interviews, all the great books and art we’ve seen thus far this year, all the kicks our readers have come to share, all the illustrators who share their art with us, all our kidlitosphere peeps, and oh-so much more. And, of course, I’m super-nerdy grateful for Eisha’s friendship. (See the above post<\/strong><\/a> for her Seoul report!)<\/p>\n
