LibrarianBookends (Steph 💛& Mary❤️) #NCTE2023さんのイラストまとめ

We finally got the chance to read This Old Dog written by Martha Brockenbrough & illustrated by Gabriel Alborozo. Seeing old dog & small girl walk side by side charmed us and made us smile huge on this Sunday night. Simply adorable! 🐶📦 #kidlit

Woke up to find that @Scholastic’s new Book Club flyers are out! Sooooo excited about the gems in our overflowing cart including Gustavo, the Shy Ghost by @Diafla, No Fuzzball! by @isaberryk, and Twins by @varianjohnson! Can’t wait for that book box to arrive! 📘📦

Remembering Ethan written by @lesleanewman & illustrated by @TracyBishopArt was an immediate picture book purchase for our library collections. For those students who have lost a sibling, this book will feel like a giant hug for their whole families. #kidlit

Where to begin? Loved the story. Loved the illustrations. Gushed & gushed as the pages went by. Ollie and Augustus by @gabrielevansart was one of our #roadtrip purchases and discovering this charming, quirky little story fills us with all the dog joy in the world. 🐶🥰

We were unaware of the history of Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language, and this gripping #ownvoices middle grade novel was fascinating & provoked us to learn more. If Show Me a Sign by @annclezotte opened our eyes this much, we can only imagine what it will teach our students. #mglit

The ups & downs of friendship. Being brave enough to stand up for a friend, or yourself. Supporting your family, no matter what.

And this truth:

“Do the right thing...
even if it’s the hard thing.”

-That’s What Friends Do by Cathleen Barnhart; #mglit at its finest.

We are SUPER into Parked by Danielle Svetcov, & this list of books that main character Jeanne Ann has checked out at the library is adding to our TBR piles! @dsvetcov - who is the the author of The Lottery from this list? Too many options on Goodreads to figure it out! #mglit

Thanks @SShaskan for surprising our YGS & BGS kids today on Zoom! We loved hearing more about your creation of Pizza and Taco: Who’s the Best, and our graphic novel fans (aka all of our students) are so ready to be on our library wait list for this book! @randomhousekids

After reading Outside In during Lunchtime Read & Draw, kids were sad to hear that @y115artteacher wouldn’t be leading a drawing demo this week. Little did they know what we had up our sleeves! Welcome illustrator Cindy Derby, guest art teacher for the day! Best. Surprise. EVER!!!
