📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks Mr. Watson's Chickens Jarrett Dapier & Andrea Tsurumi @jarrettdapier.bsky.social @atsurumi.bsky.social I recommend this book ALL THE TIME. Love love love. There are so many easter eggs (there might literally be an easter egg) in the art.

SCATTERGOOD by H.M.Bouwman is such a fantastic novel! It's children's literature--upper MG--but you know what? It's an excellent book, period. Messy, imperfect characters in a hard world, but beautiful all the same. 📚👍

Seems to me the more books we can devise that confront racism, the better. But how do you confront a hate crime in a picture book? Today's title does precisely that. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/09/16/t...

Our first Rosemary Wells on the podcast? How is this even possible? We meet Max & Ruby for the first time and have a LOT to say on the matter. Particularly about 1980s malls. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/09/15/f...

Happy Sunday! A feather fell into the ground, As if aimed by an arrow shot down. No bullseye in sight, Some black bird in flight Sent a message to Earth to confound. #limerick #limericksunday

I can play both the oboe & flute. Give me open glass bottles? I'll toot. If you think that such skill Means at #whistling I kill, You'd be wrong. My ineptness? Acute! #BlueskyRelay #Whistle #LimerickSunday #Limerick #Music #Limericks #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #PoetryCommunity

My "Laundry Mishap" #limerick, using the #BlueskyRelay #prompt #Guilt, insisted on being a 2-verser. So it wouldn't fit here unless I turned it into an image.
