Meant to include: @camillegaroche.bsky.social I’m going to look for more of her books.

Just read FOX’S GARDEN by Princesse Camcam (Camille Garoche) Enchanted Lion Books 2014. Magical and wintry art, sweet and wordless story. Great mentor book for story tellers!

@debbieohi.com WHERE ARE MY BOOKS Simon & Schuster BFYR 2015 Wonderful book- A book lover, a mystery to solve, clues, a little sibling, and a sweet resolution. Run/drive/ski/bike to your library!

Just read STUCK! by Joyce Uglow and Valerya Milovanova. Lyrical language and perfect oily tar pit palette for the art. Facts/details are presented so creatively, it was a totally painless science lesson. I am teasing of course. 😁Excellent back matter, too. Congratulations Joyce and Valerya.

TOO MANY PIGS IN THE POOL by Wendy Hinote Lanier, (@wendyhlanier) illus. by Iris Amaya. @SleepingBearBks, 2022. Perfect for summer: Pool. Silliness. MATH. Pigs! Poor Mr. Jenkins' formerly peaceful backyard pool is bursting with 64 unique pigs! Giggles. Number fun back matter.
