Love this post from @annbraden.bsky.social. #EduSky "When life shows you how fragile it can be, it shapes you as a person. This is what I explore in my newest book INTO THE RAPIDS. It’s a survival story, but it’s also about how there’s more to life than just survival."

#PictureBook #HBReviewoftheWeek WIND WATCHERS by Micha Archer (@nancyrosep.bsky.social / @penguinkids.bsky.social): "The lyrical, poetic language is easy to read aloud, and thoughtful positioning of text on the page creates a sense of cohesion with each image." www.hbook.com/story/review...
