@boringstorybook.com Hi, I am a kidlit author, new to bluesky, and hoping to join some of the feeds such as Kidlit Community and KidLit Mega Feed. But I am having a hard time figuring out how to join and be able to post. I read somewhere that I should contact you and request to be added? Thanks.

Sometimes when we think a story ends, it is where it begins. @lesliebarnardbooth.bsky.social and Stephanie Fizer Coleman tell a beautiful story of constant beginnings. It’s a poignant lesson: that there is always a place to begin anew again. 📚👍🏼#kidlit #stem

An inside look at "One Day This Tree Will Fall." It depicts a branch that is filled with life despite being a tree that's gone through a lot of hardships.
