Free costume idea to anyone with cat
Putting out feelers for something self indulgent. Anyone experienced in book covers who also can paint a sphinx taking commissions? I'm looking for a faux book cover for my DnD character and this is the cover I want to pay homage to:

You might find the Note on Ableist Language in the new Silver Press edition of Language of the Night of some interest! No words removed or replaced, but an informed discussion on the 70s and personal context of writing (also refers to a blogpost about changing words in CATWINGS for younger readers).

Reminds me of Ursula K. LeGuin's "Catwings" stories.
Swoopingly charming.

We read the Catwings books with my four-year-old and he liked them a lot. He barely recognizes letters, but he likes stories a lot

Love catwings. It has challenging emotions but it’s not cruel. It’s everything that’s good about older books but without some of the strange strictness of early 20th century stuff.

I judge all children’s books against Le Guin’s Catwings so I’m a bad judge.

Le Guin did a few Catwings books.
Even her contemporary YA novels are very good.

This is Catwings btw because I realize it's probably semi-obscure even though it's Ursula K. Le Guin

I haven't! I really need to read more LeGuin; I've only read Five Ways to Forgiveness (and Catwings as a bb).
And very agreed! I ended up doing the past storyline non-linearly, which I think helped me keep the past events relevant to the present and easier for the reader to retain.

I remember buying this at a Scholastic Book Fair and absolutely loving this series. We weren’t poor, but I never had as much to spend as the other kids at my school. My dad taught English for years and put a love of books in my heart since reading Curious George to me as a small child. 🥰

Pulled out my proper Scholastic Book Fair copy (man I miss those days).
Definitely well loved!

@ursulakleguin.com's Catwings. I got my copy signed by her in college, a few years before she passed. It gave kid me dreams of flying animals, and helped set me on a journey to become a writer.
And put wings on lots of animals 😂
