Troy Wilson (@TroyStoryToo) & Eve Coy’s (@evescoy) new picture book Hat Cat is a story of trust & friendship, & with a huge focus on #SEL in our schools, it’s a topic we don’t have many picture books in our collections with this theme. Grateful for this darling #kidlit story! 🐈
Super enjoyed My Pet Cloud by @amandarhill32 & @Apanona, but it turned a corner to epically adorable when when - following the picture book’s story - we turned to a “Rescue Clouds Ready for Adoption” spread and squealed with delight. How absolutely darling!!! ☁️
Thanks @barberchicago for getting the BRAND NEW #kidlit picture book Apple Grumble by Huw Lewis Jones into our hands at @AndersonsBkshp tonight! 🍏🍎🍏🍎🍏#teamworkmakesthedreamwork
Seriously had the case of the chuckles at that ending, @LanaButton & Alice Carter! The COW said BOO! is hysterical #kidlit that would pair perfectly with one of our forever-faves Bob, Not Bob! by @yourbuffalo, @LGartonScanlon, & @cordellmatthew! Love COW’s endpapers, too! 🐮
“The best thing about drawing is that the way you draw tells a little bit about your personality.” -Katherine Battersby
Thank you @KathBatt for the lovely Friday morning fun! Grateful for your time, drawing ideas, and stories of adventure. ✏️🌎🐔
“The world doesn’t change all by itself. People change the world. People with strength and confidence.”
All Star: How Larry Doby Smashed the Color Barrier in Baseball by @yourbuffalo & @CannadayChapman is a marvelous picture book biography reminding us all to persevere. 💪🏼📘
Ten days til Valentine’s Day! 💕
“All day long, Violet’s stomach lurched.
What if Violet couldn’t give her valentine?
What if Mira didn’t want her valentine?
What if… they never adventured?”
Love, Violet by @SullivanWild & @charlenedraws is such sweet #ValentinesDay #kidlit!
It’s very refreshing that even Simon Barnes gets the Sunday Night Scaries! Teachers all over the world feel you, buddy! @TeachMrReed
@KeadlesFirsties - thought you’d love this! 🥰📘
Can’t put into words how much we love Audrey L & Audrey W: Best Friends-ish! The journey of making a new friend & delight of finding shared interests, AND learning to forgive and have each other’s backs - all wrapped up in an absolutely adorable #kidlit story by @CarterHiggins!
“These were adults. They were supposed to know better.”
Our first audiobook for the #mustreadin2022 reading challenge is complete! Yusuf Azeem is Not a Hero by @SaadiaFaruqi is a five-star middle grade masterpiece of prejudice & fear, but also of hope. 🌟 #mglit
