The afternoon librarian gets me! This book was donated yesterday and she saved it after processing in case I hadn’t had a chance to read it yet!
Like the others created by Kobi Yamada, it’s beautiful. Elise Hurst is the perfect illustrator for this message. ❀️

The cover of the new Books for Keeps Book of the Week: The Upside-Down Lighthouse by Paddy Donnelly published by the O'Brien Press. It features Meara and Grandad in a smally rowing boat as they head towards an island with an updside down lighthouse. There are puffins and a gannet under the waves.

Our NEW Book of the Week is by a real #BooksforKeeps favourite, Paddy Donnelly. Go adventuring again with Meara and Grandad as they discover the magic of looking at things differently in THE UPSIDE-DOWN LIGHTHOUSE @theobrienpress.bsky.social

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

Don't let the American government decide what books you and your family are allowed to read.

The three Sparkle Pigs chapter books fanned out so that the top one is visible - it's called Carrot Chaos and shows two cartoon, costumed guinea pigs having a grand old time. Words are by me (writing as Kit Holliday), and the art is by Dizzy Devil Designs.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why @governor.ca.gov , who is supposed to be green, pro-environment, blah blah blah is cool with scores of dogs being killed in shelters and all the carbon that creates. Thousands a month in California.

It's obscene.

A moral and environmental crisis.

All proceeds are going towards my wife's cancer fight. The Savvas brothers have returned to the USA, and once again, stunning women are vanishing. This chilling psychological thriller is intense and will leave you breathless! πŸ“š amazon.com/Catch-Brothe...

TAKE 5 with NANCYΒ MILLER A Korean folktale inspired the premise of my picture book. Three brave sisters, Hae, Dal, and Byeol, must outsmart a hungry tiger while their Eomma (mom) is away. Readers will find it reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood.Β
