@meganclendenan.bsky.social and Brittany Cicchese have created a beautiful nonfiction #picturebook that introduces readers to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The global cooperation in this story is inspiring and hopeful! #kidlit

Cover of the picture book, JUST IN CASE: SAVING SEEDS IN THE SVALBARD GLOBAL SEED VAULT by Megan Clendenan and Brittany Cicchese. People are shown in a wintry environment. It is snowing. They are carrying boxes toward a modern building built into a hillside. One person stands with the door open and is waving.
