Okay, I learned something awesome. I know of pysanky but I had no idea of its Minneapolis connection! She immigrated to the US and eventually settled in Minneapolis. I also really had no idea the Ukranian culture ran so deeply in Minneapolis! This would be a lovely Easter gift for a child. #KidLit

"It took me a long time to figure out how to make this a children’s book...I happened to watch a librarian... give a book [about] a reverso poem. Something clicked... my manuscript ... only needed a few tweaks—mostly removing a few lines and words to make it work."- @pragmaticmom.bsky.social

Wish this was an April Fools joke, but the Supreme Court heard arguments today to revoke birthright citizenship; an issue that most people decided was settled in 1898 with Wong Kim Ark. May I suggest that it might be worth looking at this book this week with your young readers?

“They’re not aware of doing this, but kids use books as a kind of rehearsal for real life ... what a book has to say will be different for different readers, because they’ll all bring their own selves to the book, as I have done, and so the book they read is not even the book I wrote."- Lois Lowry
