Sad I didn't snag a physical galley at ALA, but just flew through this stunning prequel. Just as good if not better than the originals. Loved every page. @ssedlib.bsky.social

Wordless and it's all stained glass (designed by myers but crafted by artisans in Mexico hence the eligibility piece). The f&g package even include a beautiful piece of stained glass.

Another example of @aaslala.bsky.social being the most disappointing division of ALA. 🤮

This book! Get it for your classroom, get it for your library. Get it for your house. I promise you'll never have a more fun and energetic (and loud) read aloud. @northsouthbooks.bsky.social

A great companion book is Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals: The Story of the Bill of Rights by @terikanefield.bsky.social It does for the bill of rights what Fault Lines does for the constitution.

@jesselonergan.bsky.social Just blown away by this book. Massive in heft, power, and brilliance. Utterly unique. Will undoubtedly be returning to this many many times. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. So glad Mark Siegel convinced me to take it home.

As we wrap up the school year I'm sharing one visualization a day as I build my end of year report. Today's visualization shows what genres had the highest circulation in our newly generated fiction section.

@terikanefield.bsky.social from page 106. I'm learning so much about the bill of rights but also getting so depressed by how weak it seems to be when faced with a would be tyrant.

Excerpt from page 106 of upcoming book Rebels, Robbers, and Radicals by Teri Kanefield.

Have you read Marcus Leonard's wonderful history of Golden Books? So much cool history behind the company as well as it's incredible stable of artists.
