Look what I found on my deck the other morning! Yes that means it snowed here in the mountains of CO last week. It also means a black bear was hoping to get into my kitchen! (Bear paws have 5 toes--the furthest "toe" to the left was most likely made by a drip from the roof) #nature #Colorado

Informative conversation for NF picture books writers! @kirstenwlarson.bsky.social‬ and @emilystarr.bsky.social discuss how to spark natural curiosity and why it's so important to get young kids turned on to science. youtu.be/Yl7Kk7Jy1kE #STEMbooks #KidLit #picturebooks #STEMeducation #Nonfiction

Recently spotted in the neighborhood: black bear, pine squirrel, mule deer, great horned owl. I love the zoo outside my window! The bears have cleaned out my crabapple tree with only minor "pruning" this year. #Colorado #wildlife #nature

Seeing a lot of posts about how Bluesky’s growth has slowed, about how it’s waning popularity is troubling. I was the 523rd person to join, and I am untroubled. Bluesky has never been about waiting for the whole world to show up. It has always been about the portion of the world that’s here.

You never know what you'll find on a quick walk in the woods. #nature

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day! I especially love to capture emotion and illustrate children, animals and nature. Find more of my work at bethmehall.com #kidlitart #picturebook

Hello and happy #kidlitartpostcard Day! #kidlitart #picturebooks

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Inspired by real life #kidlit #kidlitart #bears

Lots of bears have been visiting the neighborhood this fall. They are a wonderful source of inspiration!

The one thing I’m certain of this morning #kidlit is that books matter more than ever.
