THE PRINTING PRESS (Palindrome) Repaper: I snap, my tone placid. A rare vellum knits art, no coil of fires.... Midst no felt tome, we gape, we gage, we page, we mottle fonts. Dim serif, folio, contrast, ink, mull ever a radical pen.... O, tympans! I repaper.

Great resource for helping students find their next read!

Happy International Translation Day and final day of World Kid Lit Month! So great to join illustrator Matthew Forsythe and Claudia Zoe Bedrick @enchantedlion.bsky.social for a conversation about THE GRAMMAR OF FANTASY by Italian author/educator Gianni Rodari. Buona lettura! @worldkidlit.bsky.social

This is a must-read for anyone in academia. While it focuses on administrative positions in certain parts, it's such an excellent resource with stats and critiques of all the indigenization/reconciliation rhetoric that it's got something for everyone. Highly recommend.
