Zeb and Bel was a very fun mystery for kiddos about different perspectives, magic and getting outside your comfort zone with the help of your friends. @okieelliott.bsky.social #KidLit 👍📚 📚👍

I just love when comic writers add stick figure drawings especially for complicated or unique moments!! Never feel shy about drawing your little stick figures! They help so much!

Learning a cat's body language is easy, see? Support Very Important Cat Comics and help me prepare for my very first art market @ ko-fi.com/rainbowofcrazy 🌈 #webcomics #webcomic #comicstrips #comicstrip

Title: "What a Cat's Body Language Means"
1. A fluffy, mustached ragdoll cat sits, front arms crossed. She looks at you and smiles. No speech bubble, but above the cat, it says: "Pet me."
2. The ragdoll cat lies on her back, fluffy belly exposed. Paws curled up, she looks up at you and smiles. "Pet me."
3. Jo holds up her book with one hand, frowning slightly as she looks down to the ragdoll cat that is suddenly in her lap. The cat looks up at Jo and smiles. "Pet me."
4. The ragdoll has her paws around Jo's face, pressing her face right up to Jo's. Jo ignores the cat, staring at her book instead. "Pet me."
Cat yells: "PET ME!!"

so, i'm trying to do some of the most basic of book promo on facebook, and, is it just me, or has facebook just gotten ridiculously difficult over the past few years? i tried to post a simple link to a book pre-order page and facebook turned it into a direct messaging form.

Hello Comics, Kidlit, and Librarian Friends! The folks at Macmillan are putting together a list of people to receive a digital advanced copy of the first book of ISAAC AND PEARL, my early reader graphic novel series. Would you like one?? Reply below. :D

color drawing of two cat siblings (anthropomorphized, standing on two legs, wearing clothes.) The taller / older one is pointing at a cloud that looks like a horse. The younger / shorter one is holding up a toy horse. We are seeing them from behind.

Did you read and love ZEB AND BEL: A CASE OF BIRD PROBLEMS? Well, hang on to your dogies, because their next adventure, NIGHT OF THE BODEGA CAT, releases January 19, 2027! Preorder it so you get a janurary surprise :) bookshop.org/p/books/zeb-... #kidlit #kidlitart @harperkids.bsky.social

Cover of the graphic novel ZEB AND BEL: NIGHT OF THE BODEGA CAT. It has a color illustration of Zeb, a tricolored dog, and Bel, a black cat, triumphantly entering the doorway of a bodega. We're looking at them from inside the bodega, and there are shelves of food on both sides of them. The interior is all blue, looking like night time with the lights out. Right behind them is a lightning bolt. sending a golden cone of light into the store that lights up Zeb and Bel (the cat and dog.) We also see paw prints on the floor, fruit candy wrappers, and the sillhouette of a cat head shadow cast on the floor.

this is old news, but somehow in my many breaks from social media, i missed it! Rhea Young was fired for not moving LGBTQ+ books to a limited access area, including my book, The Real Riley Mayes. You might remember other librarians and other authors circulating a go fund me for her.

Dolly Partons IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,

My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.

Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.

You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly

🎶 Let's get physical, physical, Let me hear your body talk 🎶

Auf dem Bild ist ein ungewöhnlich geformter Rettich zu sehen, der auf einem braunen Tisch liegt. Durch seine Form erinnert der Rettich an ein kleines Tier oder sogar an eine Person. Zwei dünne Wurzeln sehen wie Beine aus, während eine lange, gebogene Wurzel wie ein ausgestrecktes Bein oder ein Schwanz wirkt. Oben wachsen mehrere grüne Blätter aus dem Gemüse.
Im Hintergrund steht ein achteckiger Spiegel. Darin spiegelt sich der Rettich, sodass seine besondere Form noch einmal zu sehen ist. Durch die Haltung und die Spiegelung könnte man sich auch vorstellen, dass der Rettich eine Person darstellt, die vor dem Spiegel eine Aerobic-Übung macht und dabei ein Bein nach hinten ausstreckt.
Links auf dem Tisch liegt eine weiße Häkeldecke.

apparently if you use this tool to contact Rand Paul it chooses "abortion" as the topic.
