๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’– Delightfully peculiar stories. Marvelous illustrations. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’– Little dips in the quiet life of Gram, Gramps, and... a skeleton. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ Named John. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Yay Yonder/Restless books for bringing such a beautiful read out in translation.

Pink and gray cover of John the Skeleton by Triinu Laan, illustrated by Marja-Liisa Plats, translated from Estonian by Adam Cullen. A skeleton gently waves its hand while red snails crawl all over it.

๐ŸŒ™ ๐Ÿ‘ฝ So gentle and wise, this one. And funny. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ ๐ŸŒ™ My 7-yo niece says it's "one of the best books ever." And repeats and repeats the title with dramatic glee. We Are _Definitely_ Human by X. Fang is definitely delightful. May quiet books rule again. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘ TY Tundra Books!

Cover of We Are Definitely Human by X. Fang. Three purple and blue aliens floating against a starry black sky with their flying saucer.

๐Ÿง™๐Ÿง™ I adore the emotional arc in This Year, a Witch! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ This was my first of Zoey Abbott's, and I immediately gobbled up every other one I could get. She is _masterful_ at making a potent story out of every day stuff. Just exactly what I love. ๐Ÿ’•

I โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ ๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŒ‹Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland by ร†var รžรณr Benediktsson @aevarthor.bsky.social Every little bit is playful! I love the authorial asides and the hunt for the one detail that is not true--a wonderful way to make this fantastical (but real) story extra believable. #PB #NF ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Cover of Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland by ร†var รžรณr Benediktsson shows a volcanic island in brilliant blue and red, with a Norse god figure under the water and lava pouring down the volcano. Two figures stand silhouetted on the shore, arms up, as if hailing someone.

So much tenderness and beauty in the #KidLitArtPostcard feed!
