Our blueberry bush has been exceptionally prolific this year. Even with all the backyard snacking, we still had plenty for two pies! Pies by Megan Pelicano and her Dad. Cool, artsy pic by Joey Pelicano. Lame, two dimensional pic by Dad. π€

Due to demand (10k students and only rooms for 3,400) Megan was unable to get a dorm room for the Fall Semester at College of Charleston, so she will be taking an apartment off campus. As a result, she is actively looking for friendly, responsible, and relatively tidy FEMALE (that's Dad's requirement, but Megan concurs) roommates -- one will do, but the more the merrier! If anyone knows anyone (FEMALE, see above ;) ) who knows anyone who knows anyone who fits the description, please IM me or Megan Pelicano. Thank you very much! π #collegeofcharleston #collegeofcharlestonclassof2023

I took these photos of Megan's unfinished, latest creation (a dressing gown), at great peril to my own life. I guess it's much like photographing a Picasso before the master has finished, although I always preferred Monet. My talented daughter!

Thank you!! ππ¦β€οΈππ·π --------------------------------------------------------- A Butterfly in Paris - Ages 11-Adult EsmΓ©e DΓ©lancourt was perfectly happy never to leave her quiet home in Saint-Denis-lΓ¨s-Chevreuse, France. But when the doors of the commuter train bound for Paris slide closed, trapping her inside, she finds herself an unwilling participant in an adventure through the City of Lights. As EsmΓ©e struggles to find her way home again, the little butterfly meets a cast of characters and witnesses a world of wonders she could never have imagined. Through danger, love, and loss, she comes to understand the meaning of the word home and the symbolism hidden in a sculpture tucked away in the Louvre Museum; a sculpture her mother used to teach an important childhood lesson. #mattpelicano #kidlit #writersofinstagram #musician #songwriter #childrensauthor #instamusic #author #childrensauthor #igersgreenville #discovergvl #thelocalgreenville #yeahthatgreenville #greenville360 #igersgreenville #instalove #instamusic #instaArtist #poetry #writer #poets #poetsofinstagram #childrensauthor #discovergvl #amwriting #poetrycommunity #poetryofinstagram #abutterflyi

Today is the day!! From early on, her teeth were so crooked her jaw would click and catch. She rarely smiled with her mouth open. Now, after 33 months wearing braces, she has her smile back and itβs as perfectly beautiful as her heart. β€οΈ

βThere has always been chaos, and there has always been beauty. The beauty persists in silence, while the chaos demands attention in fitful starts and stops. I choose beauty, goodness and truth.β

Over the past two months of confinement, I've had the privilege of conducting several Virtual Author Visits with elementary school students, high school students, book clubs, and even a Mom's Group! I've been engaged to record several talks for use across numerous elementary schools and I've seen great demand for books. I just want to say Thank You to everyone who has been involved in these activities! Truly, we are all in this together and look what good can be done! π www.MattPelicano.com
