There's a lot to study from Zohran Mamdani's electoral victory, but I'm particularly interested in its graphic design. Vivid, unexpected colors. A hand drawn feel that nods to the grassroots nature of the campaign, with nods to old NYC bodega signage, metro cards, and even old Bollywood posters.

Great post with a lot of information from some of our local #WestchesterCounty #librarians ! If you are a #librarian, what are your thoughts? Thank you to our blog editor, Anne Brady! #library @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social #kidlit #kidlitmegafeed @scbwi.bsky.social

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

So many hilarious twists and turns in this graphic-novel style picture book, GEODUCK IS NOT A DUCK, by #CandyWellins and @elliepeterson.bsky.social. I learned what a geoduck is in a really fun way. Loved the illustrations!

Anyone else occasionally have to delete certain games off all their devices because they are getting too obsessed? If so, which game(s)? For me, this was: Pokemon Go Stardew Valley Nowadays, I go thru ebb & flow re: gaming obsessions. Zelda: BOTW & TOTK was my most recent (so many hours!)

The *most* frequently recurring feedback from kids in student focus groups we've analyzed from grades 2 to 12 is that they want to go outside, go on field-trips, and do more hands-on experiential learning.

I sincerely believe that we should talk about large numbers the same way we talk about Lex Luthor's cakes (with "and that's terrible" when applicable)

New Hampshire's governor Chris Sununu decided to pull his nominee for State Librarian. Why? Because she opposed book bans. America in 2024. Your librarian cannot even do their goddamn job. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2024...

Frankly, it doesn’t matter to me if you read 20 or 90 books per annum as long as the books you experienced gave you a thrill.

Yep, it’s still #Jewishbookmonth and Christmakkuh or Hanukkamas is right around the corner or curve or whatever.

Doing a little bit of style experimentation just for fun. As a teenager I was obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Éowyn was one of my heroes. :) #rohan

Day 17: 31 Days, 31 Books - Unconventional Children's Books. Some books today could easily be called "weird" but you're also going to see a number of titles that upset our conceptions of what a children's book published in America can even be. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/17/3...

Call to Action: Email the Katy ISD board of trustees to request change the policy targeting LGBTQ+ books & to release the 400+ titles while they are under review Spread the word! @txfreedomread.bsky.social actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...
