Thanks for the shoutout and the Easter witches info! I did not know that about Sweden. Nor Holland nor Germany has such a Halloween tradition, that I know of.

You’re welcome! I’m learning that Sweden is alone in this witch tradition 😂

I love the drawing of the 2 sets of parents... you captured their essence perfectly! Lucky Mats to have such cool parents; lucky you to have Mats as a friend. Happy Mother's Day, Ann!

What an interesting tradition, but yeah the witch trials were definitely a sad time in history. And I don't think any of us will ever know for sure just how much we got away with as kids! 😅

I SO want a copy of your illustrated memoir. That’s my game too—one that I’m flailing around to figure out. So let’s make a deal. I live in Colorado, so maybe you’ll

fly one in for me?
