😡 Ugh. A wave of #kidlit censorship: event cancellations, book bans & coordinated harassment campaigns targeting authors who have written about Palestinian life & culture, supported Palestinian rights, or who are simply Muslim. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

⭐ SKY LUCK by @ericaleewrites.bsky.social is a beautiful way to encourage appreciation for all of nature's wonders above us. Lovely language, great back matter, and gorgeous illustrations by @dagmarsmith.bsky.social. Published by @bluedotkidspress.bsky.social. ⭐ 📚👍 #kidlit

cover of SKY LUCK shows a child reaching up toward a sparkling light in the sky; white clouds fill most of the cover with blue sky and stars at the top and green grass, plants, and flowers at the bottom; the book is in my hand with blue sky and white clouds at the top of the photo and purple, pink, white, and yellow flowers in the middle and bottom of the background

People who consider themselves “lucky” tend to be more open to opportunities, more resilient, and more optimistic. A lot of it has to do with noticing the unexpected things around you—being observant and seeing the world as it is, not as you want it to be. nerdybookclub.wordpress.com/2025/10/02/s...
