THE SWEATER picture book five starred review banner and quote image
Happy #BookBirthday to THE SWEATER by Larissa Theule and illustrated by Teagan White! This beautiful picture book Illustrates the transformative role a community can play in caring for its members.
With β¨five stars,β¨ it is a powerful and poignant tale of compassion and acceptance.
Having been out of the classroom for several years, I miss the magic of reading aloud to students and getting lost in a book together. So, I would gift myself more opportunities to share my love of reading and writing with children. #kidlitchat

An illustration by Angela Matteson of a park scene with a dala horse mom sitting on a bench next to a knitting owl watching her youngest boy ride off on his scooter while big sister is looking up at Mom saying, "Ma! mama! ma! Ma!", and another dala sister is walking on wood logs. A bird couple and a squirrel are on the path.
Taking a moment to pause with a cuppa while also keeping an eye on all we care about on this #KidLitArtPostcard day!

Cover of Just Like Home: Love Rolls in by Erin Soderberg Downing. Cover art by Johanna Tarkela shows Arlo the puppy in his homemade wheeled cart.
A wonderful new series from @erindowning.bsky.social for animal-loving young readers ready for longer chapters and no illustrations - a gentle story for tender-hearted readers. Perfect for after @elanakarnold.bsky.social's Bat series or @katemessner.com's Wildlife Rescue series. #mglit
Donβt Forget the Lights, a guest post by Jennifer Ann Richter
As a longtime reader and writer, Iβve found light in words. My hope is that young people also find it in the pages of my books.
