Marvelous drawings of a traffic jam
and that rain-heavy sky
and so many looking away,
as a kitten crosses traffic.
But someone...
_screeech!_
A meditation
a provocation
a call to be late...
just in time.
I kept thinking,
"We're all this kitten."

๐๐๐ผ Yay Yonder/Restless books for bringing

๐ซถ๐ผ ๐ Salmon Run ๐ ๐ซถ๐ผ by Annie Chen
Watercolors transport the reader to a water world,
revealing the salmon's lifecycle. So simple, so elegant.
It's enough to learn one beautiful thing about the world. ๐
