Great new #nonfiction #picturebook by @carrietillotson.bsky.social and Elisa Chavarri. I loved learning about how alpacas are raised in Peru and in America. It has bouncy rhyming text and colorful illustrations, plus extra sidebar and backmatter info -- something for everyone! Well done! #kidlit

Doesn't it seem like a sweet alpaca face is what everyone needs to see right now? #alpacas #kidlit #nonfiction

All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy. It’s time to speak out and fight back. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

I’m now taking Kirkus’s comment that my new book is “rather relentlessly informative” as a huge compliment, in light of all the mis/disinformation we have, and more that is sure to come. ALPACAS HERE, ALPACAS THERE, out 02.11.25. Beautifully illustrated by Elisa Chavarri.

Post a pic YOU took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

Hey everybody! I finally fluttered over to Blue Sky. Happy to see so many friendly faces over here.
