I understand why so many people believed in sea monsters! SEAL (Monsters) In The Evening Sun #Plungephotography #Maine #seals #nature
3 seal heads at different stages of popping out of the water.  They look like a sea monster all together.  One has its mouth open and you can see its rows of yellow teeth

As you continue to teach #BlackHistory all year - focus on the themes @sonjacherrypaul.bsky.social identifies in this educator's guide to Unspeakable - Resistance, Resilience, Reconciliation. Themes of agency, of hope...Where do you see these themes in this cover illustration? #picturebooks #kidlit
Cover of Carole Boston Weatherford's and Floyd Cooper's UnSpeakable - The Tulsa Race Massacre - a Black family leaving burning Tulsa behind.  The father looks back, the mother's eyes are closes, face upturned, the child in her arms is looking  directly at us, the child walking has a bright pink bow in her hair.
