Back from Spring Break and SO excited for Spring weather 🌸 There’s nothing better than sitting outside with a great book… or 15 of them! Can’t wait to get started on this week’s fabulous #libraryhaul. Shoutout to Caroline Kusin Pritchard and Jonathan Roth rounding out this #kidlit book stack!

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Read Maris's piece, then go show your local indie bookstore some love. They're so much more than places to get books--they are places to engage with ideas and others in your community. Staffed by actual humans to help you find the books you didn't know you needed!

LAST DAY to sign up for #Kweli25! Sunday #kidlit programs include @sealeyruiz.bsky.social @sonjacherrypaul.bsky.social @simranjeetsingh.bsky.social @veerawrites.bsky.social @armyvet5.bsky.social @stacyvwells.bsky.social @jecheverria.bsky.social @djolder.bsky.social +MORE FULL schedule at link 👆🏿👆🏾

In their picture book MANY THINGS AT ONCE by @veerawrites.bsky.social, illustrated by Nadia Alam, the narrator is told by her parents she is lucky to be both Indian and American, both Jewish and Hindu; sometimes feels she is not “enough.” lilith.org/articles/fem...
