I heard bluesky launched video upgrades this week?? Let’s talk about how sometimes being a scientist is observing something you can’t explain, trying to figure out what the heck is going on, then still having no idea what’s going on, and just enjoying the process of learning as you go.
Thrilled to announce that THE OCEAN'S HEART is one of five finalists for a California Golden Poppy Award in Kids' nonfiction from CA Indie booksellers! L👀K at these books! Yahoo!! Check out more #Kidlit finalists in 🧵 @steelworksliterary.bsky.social @carolhinz.bsky.social @lernerbooks.bsky.social
