If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social #WriterSky #BookSky #KidLit

Handwritten quote on a white sheet with an illustrated face at the bottom and pink hearts around the text. The quote reads:
"If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting."

Before the winter began I took this photo of an adorable bug that looks like a little pea in a pod or a leaf. He’s smaller than my thumbnail. Too cute #Uplift

Tiny Leaf Bug

A bug that looks like a leaf. These unique bugs don’t all look alike, but they do have one thing in common: This katydid is even called the “false leaf” bush cricket!
