Our Family Tree

Ready for our next fun activity? But first, join Our Family Tree, where we will celebrate this theme in my books Home and Apart From Love.

I am asking you to post images on the event page, images that depict you and your mom, you and your dad. I will bring your images together into this scene, a scene of a garden party happening around this tree, which stands for the name of this event: Our Family Tree. In this place, which I hope will embrace all of us, we touch each other. We celebrate and give thanks.

The images can be your painting, your sketch, or an old photograph from your family album. They can depict your father wagging a finger at you while you are pulling a cat's tail; or you and your mom planting flowers in the back yard; hugging or having a discussion on a recent visit. Anything goes. The best pictures would be not just the heads but the entire figure, preferably (but not necessarily) in an animated pose. 

I will post the final version of Our Family Tree on Wednesday the 21st of November, so you can share it with your family on Thanksgiving.
