Celebrating the first annual We Need Diverse Books Day, by reading @doanphuongwrites.bsky.social's beautiful, fictionalized middle grade memoir, A Two Placed Heart. #WeNeedDiverseBooksDay
Graphic with a deep purple ombre background. White title text says, “Celebrate We Need Diverse Books Day with Bookshop.org”. Beneath the title is a row of white perforated tickets, the centermost which says, “15% Off using the code WNDB25” in dark purple lettering. Beneath the ticket in small white font is a note with an asterisk that says, “only active Thursday, April 3rd” and “excludes e-book purchases”.
It’s no joke, our friends at @bookshop.org are helping us celebrate #WeNeedDiverseBooksDay with a special promo code! 🛍️📚
Shop Bookshop.org on April 3rd and use the code “WNDB25” at checkout to get 15% off your purchase!
On my feet applauding, moved to tears by Cory Booker.
Happy Music in Our Schools Month! We love music educators. #MusicInOurSchoolsMonth #MusicMavensBook
