Hey #kidlit bluesky! A friend recently pointed out how her book’s Amazon ranking is affected by reviews. If you have a picture book that needs a boost let me know! If it’s on our Libby, me and the boy can read it right away, otherwise we can make a request through the library. #picturebooks #booksky

We just finished How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwall. I read it as a kid, but rereading now I can definitely identify with the parents. My legit response to my kid eating worms would probably be, at least cook ‘em fancy. #booksky #readingwithkids #kidlit

While I was drawing this the boy made a request that I turn the art into a coloring page. We thought it might be fun to spread some reading love so I’m offering it up as a free download on gumroad 7008109455774.gumroad.com/l/nbpfcd #kidlit #coloringpage #library #teachers #homeschooling #booksky

A coloring page of a stack of books featuring some of the names people call voracious readers around the world. There is a library mouse reading on top of the stack, a bookworm tucked into a nook, and a book bug listening to an audiobook underneath a leaning book. The artwork is by Jessica Blank and the coloring page is being offered for free on gumroad.

We went to see the Audubon exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The boy and I also read the graphic novel: Audubon, on the Wings of the World before we went. So now when we are out and spot a new bird S. gets out his finger guns and goes “Pew pew! I’m Audubon!” #birdsky #booksky

It’s hard not to be filled with rage every minute of every day right now. But I spent part of my week drawing in a theatre lobby where I could hear my son’s theatre class get up on stage and one by one sing their favorite songs to wild applause. I’m surviving on kid joy infusions.

Latest read with the boy, his pick. Think regency era steampunk adventure story, also they have boats that fly to Mars. A little old for my kid, but he really enjoyed it and I like to let him read what he wants as long as it’s not crazy inappropriate for his age. 😉 #booksky
