Miniature Minimalist Birds Day 4 - Long-tailed tit

Fall 2026 Children’s Preview: forthcoming board books make playful use of interactive elements to introduce basic concepts

This c1980 picture book has stuck with me because of the unforgettable harmless snake that Gertrude names——wait for it——Itsa!!! Itsa Snake.🐍 I mean, is there a better name for a snake than Itsa? Also, seeing early Byron Barton before his iconic amazing style came to be is refreshing.

Hi all! I'm Debbie Ridpath Ohi, #KidLit author & illustrator. Current focus: writing a novel. See my Links Page & my new Author Newsletter on @leaflet.pub for what I'm up to. Gradually moving my Unofficial Guide to Bluesky to a condensed version.

Know a #bigrig fan? A #pig fan? Pair this book with a toy truck and a little piggy plush and you’ll have a BFF saying ‘Read it again’. Amazing art by #RobSayeghJr and enchanting text by #ClaireTattersfield Gotta dig #BIGRIGPIG ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to 🦩📚 for following two #Cupig ❤️ books with this gem.

When your kids have devoured the samey samey GNs out there and they want a comic that’s a cut above (and doesn’t look like anybody else), that’s when you hit ‘em in the Chernobyl. Far and away a favorite of the year. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2026/04/24/r...
