#whyilove12x12PB! There's so much to love. Year #8 for me. If you have any PB questions, you can ask and get answers in a few hours from the group that includes beginners and most accomplished and published authors. The webinars alone are worth the membership fees. Writer friends for life.

#kidlit #PB It's a book that kids & adults can use, especially those who struggle to say 'no' and end up depleting themselves in the process. The illustrations by Dan Dougherty do a fantastic job of being minimalistic, pairing well with the words of this book by DJ Corchin. I'd say YES to this book.

#kidlit SIDE WALK CHALK by Jen Fier Jasinski/Lea Marie Ravotti With minimal words and colorful illustrations, the author & illustrator join forces to help a young, shy girl come out of her shell and join the others, in turn creating a warm welcome for other new arrivals in their neighborhood. 👍📚

#kidlit #PB This is a well-written and fun book that answers the age-old question of what curry is. Maria's @msmarianayagam.bsky.social lyrical text and Geeta's (Geeta Ladi) beautiful, fun illustrations bring this book to life. I love the recipe at the back and will definitely be trying it.
