In EMMA MCKENNA, FULL OUT by @katemessner.bsky.social w/art by Kat Fajardo, Emma is excited about making a fresh start in a new school—until her “enemy” from last year shows up! Quick chapters, fun characters, & relatable scenarios make this a great series starter for young readers. #mglit 📚👍

The library board “fired the library director for refusing to move or remove 113 books that they feel are ‘inappropriate.’ The rest of the staff did something heroic in solidarity with their colleague: they walked out, locked up the library, and said No to this unethical board action.”
Maggie Tokuda-Hall@maggietokudahall.bsky.social · 3y agoWe all stand against book bans in theory, but 4 librarians in Prattville, Alabama lost their jobs standing against them. Please join me in donating to the GoFundMe that will help them make ends meet in this tough time. Show me a receipt, I'll give you a compliment www.gofundme.com/f/protect-pr...
My favorite thing about Lizzy and the Cloud is the first thing Lizzy does is go to the cloud seller and it totally makes sense. I don’t find myself asking what a cloud seller is or how can that be? Often I overthink when I write. I need more cloud seller in my work. #kidlit
