"Arnold gave Frog & Toad the stories from his own life. He was a very good friend. He knew what it meant to be generous, to be lonely... and how difficult it was to eat just 1 cookie." Here's my feature: jeannewalkerharvey.com/single-post/... @penguinkids.bsky.social @eastwestlit.bsky.social

If you've seen the latest season of "Stranger Things," you might have noticed the iconic cover of "A Wrinkle in Time" that Holly was reading. For a long time, nobody knew who had illustrated that cover -- until an enterprising Redditor got Endless Thread on the case:

Books for young readers reflect the reality that Indigenous people live on reservations, in cities, and all the places in between. In fact, upwards of 80% of Native people live in suburbs, off-rez small towns, or cities, with many regularly returning to visit their tribal homelands. #KidLit
