Hey @dansantat.bsky.social and @unshavedmouse.bsky.social We are wrapping up our Mock Caldecott, and Don’t Trust Fish is in the running! Our readers loved your collab, and today, one reader asked a great question we are hoping you can answer: What came first…the words or the pictures?

My daughter’s school hosted a virtual reading night tonight. She joined 3 different Google meets, and all 3 teachers read books by Aaron Reynolds! She even got to bring a stuffy of her school mascot home and they listened together! What a fun night!

When your kid gets to bring home the school mascot, the mascot gets the VIP treatment - books and snuggles from the pooch!

“It matters so much to me that it doesn’t matter how many mistakes I make!” @saraharonson.bsky.social talking to our 2nd graders about author’s purpose and how you have to really care about a topic of you want to write about it. Thanks for sharing your time and experiences!

Spent the morning presenting to local teachers about building classroom libraries. Grateful for these two friends and colleagues, and for sharing our 🩵 for an inviting, inclusive and well stocked classroom library. @micheleknott.bsky.social

First task of the morning…get this brand new book in circulation and into the hands of readers! They’ve been waiting! @marciecolleen.bsky.social @ellenstubbings.bsky.social

Bringing myself back into the #KidLit world and grateful for it! Starting by posting our 2025 #mockgeisel and #mockcaldecott winners with student designed medals for our school library!
