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."

I have a new book coming out on Tuesday—WE MATCH! is my first fiction picture book in more than 5 years—and it’s full of dogs.

The next chapter in The Wild Robot universe is a picture book! THE WILD ROBOT ON THE ISLAND enters the world TODAY. My book tour will take me to Westbrook Maine, NYC, NJ, Philly, St Louis + the Chicago area. Hope to see you out there! Here’s the info- www.peterbrownstudio.com/event-schedu...

UPDATE: Nine excited pupils & two even more excited staff turned up. She talked us through the rules first, which were very simple: read books & be kind. Everyone enjoyed reading Albert's Tree by @jennidesmond.bsky.social & then talking about what they would do if they were a bear. It was perfect.
