The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡

And what if we make it a point – say once a week – to share a brand new kids’ book we read and loved? Because there are so many amazing books for kids that are worth championing. #BeAnAmbassador

Happy World Book Day! Another great wordless picturebook from IBBY Silent Book Collection is Cazucá by Óscar Pantoja and Flor Capella. This book is from Columbia. #kidlit #internationalkidlit #worldbookday #worldkidlit #silentbooks

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Just read the most interesting book. Alter-Nativo by Jorge Campos (published in Spain). Not going to lie, this wordless book really made me work. Perhaps the most complex picturebook (can it be considered a picturebook?) that I have ever read.
