You’ll find the full review in the Spanish section of the October SLJ, since it’s technically reviewing the Spanish edition, ¡ELEVA LA RAMPA!, translated by Anyeliz Pagan Munoz. #kidlit #steamworks @charlesbridge.bsky.social @steamteambooks.bsky.social @scbwisocal.bsky.social

It’s a Star! A starred review from SLJ! VERDICT This fun picture book is an excellent way to share with young readers the ways STEAM is present every day and is sure to inspire readers to make their own creations. A great addition to Spanish collections for children.

This was really interesting. I’d assumed Supreme Court reform would require a constitutional amendment, but everything other than its existence is set by ordinary law. So there are all kind of things we could do to make the Supreme Court, and the federal courts more broadly, work better.

Although, it looks like there might not be any agents participating who take picture books, so I guess you probably don’t need them! 😁

Thanks for all your hard work! Next year, could you add some more PB-friendly genres? Humor and Holiday both would have been helpful for me!

Excited to share the cover of RAMP IT UP!, coming October 6. Written by me, illustrated by Wendy Wen and published by @charlesbridge.bsky.social #kidlit #steam #wheelchair

[Visual description: Cover of picture book titled Ramp It Up!, written by Katrina Tangen, illustrated by Wendy Wen, part of Charlesbridge’s Steam Works series. Coming October 6!

A white girl with red braids sits in her dark blue and hot pink wheelchair behind a light brown table. Her hand is in the air, holding a boy doll who also uses a wheelchair. On the table is a colorful toy brick castle and a ramp made of cardboard taped to LEGO towers. A toy construction worker balances on one leg on top of a Lego which is on the ramp. He holds toy bricks in his hand A smiling red toy car revs her engine and a toy queen in a white gown waves her heart scepter. A party invitation and loose Legos lie on the table.]

OK, #kidlit illustrators, help me shop for Christmas! My nephew (8) likes drawing, so I want to get him some art supplies and a book or 2. I’d like to find something that helps him build core skills. Or are the How to Draw X books just as good? (He’s a bit of a perfectionist when following videos.)

CAMP CHRISTMAS TREE celebrates the contemporary Christmas tradition of camping under the Christmas tree. A family hikes through their house and sets up “camp” to enjoy holiday time together and the beauty of sleeping next to the glowing Christmas tree. #PB #Holiday #Christmas #Lyrical #DVPit

The stable is warm. Nothing can harm you, cradled here in my arms. Hush, baby, hush Joseph tries to get baby Jesus to sleep on the first Christmas night. A lyrical bedtime book celebrating the tender love of a father for his new son. #PB #Christmas #CF #Bible #Lyrical #Bedtime #DVPit
