Home is a Softball Field
A story of belonging.
Hello! And welcome to Dandelion Seeds, an illustrated newsletter that is hand-painted and hand-lettered, from my desk to yours.
Friends, I’m thrilled to have a new illustrated essay to share with you today: “Home is a Softball Field.” While I’ve shared a few essay series with you so far this year, this week’s story is a stand-alone piece — about a softball field I stumbled across a few months ago in Montevideo, and the surprising picture of belonging I found there.
I can’t wait to hear what you think, and if there’s someone you know who might enjoy it, please feel free to send the story their way, too 🥎
Here’s to finding home in unexpected places,
Candace
Diasporas are amazing, aren't they? A little girl whose parents run a bodega in Belize speaking perfect patois. Syrians in Armenia. Jews in Mexico City. What a lovely world.
Another gorgeous piece, I've seen that softball scene as well and love everything it represents, you captured it all so perfectly.
