Ready to rev up your bookshelves? We’re 3 months out from hitting the trail! Available for pre-order!

I spy so many lovely books including @schaubwrites.bsky.social's A PLACE FOR RAIN. Congrats, Michelle!

Thanks, Justin!

Having given one of these last year - can say it was a great success!

"Aliens Get the Sniffles Too!" written by @katyduffield.bsky.social. Illustrated by K. G. Campbell. A little alien is sick, and his family is trying to help him feel better- especially their dog Mars Rover. Cute illustrations and lots of fun onomatopoeia. Kids were cracking up at this one.

If there are animals lovers (both young and older!) on your list, consider these two books about #WildlifeCrossings. @bengoldfarb.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social

Hey illustrators, it’s time for school! I’m looking for an artist who can bring humor + commercial appeal to full-color graphic reader series set in a school (2nd Grade). Respond here w/ images and a link to your folio. Please no emails or direct messages on other platforms. 💙❤️

Teachers, if you're looking for STEM lessons plans, take a look at Kristen Nordstrom and Kristin Majda's wonderful article "Designing Wildlife Crossings" in a recent issue of Science and Children. www.nsta.org/science-and-...

@debbieohi.bsky.social I’m just starting to dip a toe in here, but I wanted to thank you for all you’re doing to help #kidlit writers connect with teachers & with other writers!
