Armulyn: A Tribute
Today is the 19th anniversary of Rich Mullins’ death. Andrew is spending the day posting his favorite lyrics, and I’m spending the day watching old concert videos. Did you know that Armulyn the Bard, with his kind, scratchy voice and his irreverent hope-filled joy is Andrew’s tribute to his songwriting hero? “Sometimes, music is the […]

Arundelle in clay
Sandra sent this in to show us her daughter’s ingenuity in creating Arundelle out of Sculpey clay. The bit of purple in her leaf-hair makes me happy, as does the texture on the trunk. And look—there’s even a face! Forum fun: Oskar’s quotes, Hollish school adventures, costuming, and thank yous. Plus a LOT more. Go […]

Glipwood Festival
Last week Andrew went up to Michigan for a school fundraiser and concert, which would have been fun enough—but there was also a FESTIVAL. How cool is that?

Abby’s Leeli
Look at this sweet drawing Andrew got last week. Isn’t she darling? I especially like her hair and the expression on her face. What do you think she’s thinking? Abby, thanks so much for sending this in! We love her. Have a wonderful Monday, everyone! I spent my morning hanging out with a librarian friend and […]

Here and there
Yesterday morning Andrew and his family collapsed in a heap at the Warren after eight whole weeks in Europe and a long, long, long trip home—and lo, it was very good. Dear Petersons, we are so glad you’re home. Meanwhile in the forum, we’ve reached a milestone: One hundred topics! Elia noticed that we were […]

Kalmar and a quote (spoiler)
Today’s fan art is from Peter, who also sent along an excellent note. What I appreciate most about this drawing is the expression on Kalmar’s face—sad, noble, uncertain—and the attention to detail in the claws and sword belt. Here’s his letter: We love your books! I am eleven and I have read all of them […]

Ouster Will and Yurgen’s son
Happy Tuesday, folks! Yesterday was a busy day in the library and I missed posting here, so today I shall rectify two wrongs at once by posting some long-overdue fan art. Its creator sent it to Andrew quite awhile back with this note: My name is Joseph Brandenburg and I am 14 years old. This is a […]
