With shrinking review outlets for ๐จ๐ฆ kidlit, the loss of CM Reviews leaves quite a void. Feeling grateful for all their years of steadfast support for ๐จ๐ฆ kids books & sad to see it end. A review of NO HUDDLES FOR HELOISE appears in the latest (& possibly final ๐) issue. Thank you for everything, CM!
