Kirkus Verdict: GET IT! When different species interact in a way that benefits at least one of them, it’s called a symbiotic relationship, as some young readers may know. But this book reveals that these relationships aren’t always as reciprocal as readers might expect. #nature

That sounds about right. #asmr

These Japanese beetles seem to be using the flowers as shelter from the rain, but do the flowers get anything from the Beatles in this relationship? What kind of animal relationship would this be? If only there was a children's picture book, that could answer this question! #kidlit

Name that bird! Also, much wisdom. Very wise. Wow. #birdwatching

Happy Birthday BLINK AND GLOW! Written by Raven Howell Illustrated by Ann Pillicer This is a beautiful summer story that helps children understand the impact and importance of caring for creatures and the natural world around them. #kidlit

"A vivid work about the human devastation of animal habitats in the Great Bear Rainforest." —Kirkus Reviews Check it out today!

It should be non-negotiable. In 2026, most, if not all, books, should have a statement on the copyright page or equivalent, that declares that no generative AI was used in the production or development of a book... Especially for children's books! #noai

I mean, it's technically correct... Maybe it just depends on how you spell it... Either way, I hope you find more time/thyme to enjoy your day!

Even if it was a banger of a post... It still doesn't take away from the fact that it took far longer to create than expected... But regardless, enjoy the process of whatever you're doing, and find your creative flow in anything you do! #creativework

Today's children will be tomorrow's protectors. ENOUGH TO SHARE helps to shed light on the impact human activity has on, not just animals, but symbiotic relationships and whole ecosystems! There's still so much to do, but this book is a step in the right direction. #childrensbooks

Today was such an awesome day to see how many people got excited enough to wait in line to go to their local bookstore! It's important to remember that have without bookstores we would not have the diversity we need to grow, to learn, and to be entertained. Happy CIBD!

This is not a vegetable… Vegetables are any part of the plant that you can eat (that isn’t the ovaries), such as leaves, roots, and stems. But if it grew from a flower and holds seeds…it’s a fruit. Music credit: Tielmour Press @katieleereinert.bsky.social #nature #botany

Maybe it's a redemption arc... Don't forget to check out SLOTHS AND THEIR MOTHS!!! #asmr

Happy Earth Day! If you ever feel discouraged, where doing something feels like it has no impact, or it feels insignificant... It might be just a drop of water in an endless ocean, but what is an ocean if not a multitude of drops? Wouldn't it be great if everyday was Earth Day? #earthday

Would love to make it to the next round! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Let's scrap some damaged books... ...The proper way! It's always unfortunate to see damaged books, but it doesn't mean that it's the end of their life. And of course, a little free library is an amazing thing to have in your community! #kidsbooks

We're taking the em dash back! Em dashes have always been a big part of my personal writing style—one might even say that I feel EM-pty without them! What do you think? *No AI was used in the making of this copy (all em dashes were human-made). #childrensbooks #indiepublishing #Kidlit

While koalas are not primates... Koalas and humans apparently split on the evolutionary tree about 70 million years ago, but they still share a similar fingerprint, and this is something called: Convergent Evolution!! Knowing is growing! Have a great day #childrensbooks #kidsbooks

I just need more thyme... Maybe we'll start on an easier project this time, and maybe we'll also try the tree planting gig again shortly. Stay tuned. #trees #seeds #creativejourney #kidsbooks

We couldn't really tell if these were just soggy fungi left over from last fall (which was likely the case), but it's still so awesome to see as the snow melts. And if you wanted to teach your kids more about the wonderful world of mushrooms, check out: FUNGI ARE...MORE THAN MUSHROOMS! #fungi
