I made a Picture Book Author Starter Pack! This is trad pub'd authors with books currently out 🙂 go.bsky.app/B8U5Ekc

Today, we started reading Sydney and Taylor Take a Flying Leap by Jacqueline Davies. This is a great transitional fiction series for readers who are ready for chapter books.

I created a very-preliminary-please-don't-yell-at-me-or-be-offended-if-I-inadvertently-left-you-off starter pack for Cubs fans making the jump to Bluesky. I will make additions! go.bsky.app/NiXKpHN

Sharing this great starter pack for fellow teachers, librarians, and readers. I love all of these so that I can connect and reconnect with favorites.
