Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth with these fabulous books for kids! Join me! Let's celebrate every day!

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

It's National Inspire Your Heart with Art Day! Let's go artists we need your art! #artmatters #kidsneedart #artbooksforkids

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! 🍁 This turkey LOVED dressing up for the holidays!

For people who love books, here are some lovely ones to read and share... #readabook

A plea to those posting art, photos, etc they didn't create themselves: ALWAYS credit the original creator. Only share if you know creator is ok with it. Take time to research. To authors: Credit ILLUSTRATORS, esp if you use their work to promote a book. #PicturesMeanBusiness

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
