📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks If You Find a Leaf Aimee Sicuro Beautiful. Slightly rhyming. Lyrical. Fun, real leaves within the art. We loved picking out leaves we knew and thinking creatively about how natural items can be used in art.

Today was a hard day. I spent it helping friends pull together what few smoke-damaged possessions were left after a house fire. No one was injured but they lost everything. Hug your loved ones.

📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks A Pocket Full of Rocks Kristin Mahoney & E.B. Goodale @kmcmahoney.bsky.social @ebgoodale.bsky.social A circular story of collecting. Rocks, petals, shells, and acorns. Through the seasons. Lovely and lyrical. I adored this.

I'm a big blueberry fan.

It's wild blueberry season in Sweden and I've been picking and eating my fill everyday from the forest behind my house! The entire forest floor is covered in wild blueberry bushes and the tangy taste is so cosmic, I had to paint them ✨ #blueberry #art #painting

📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks Swashby and the Sea Beth Ferry & Juana Martinez-Neal @juanamartinezn.bsky.social Very sweet. Grumpy old man and a fiddling sea befriend a little girl. Loved it.

Dear picture book authors, It's not you. It's the dumpster-fire market. More and more great manuscripts get rejected all the time. More and more great picture books go out of print - faster and faster and faster. You're not alone. It's everywhere and everyone and everything.

📚👍 So many good books. #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks Walk the Walk R.J. Owens & Reggie Brown @reggiebrownart.bsky.social Well done informational fiction about the Montgomery Bus boycott. Sparked great conversation.
