@boonewrites I didn’t get to read the whole thing yet, but these short stories will be awesome read alouds. This is one I definitely think they would pick up on their own as well. Thank you!

The world is burning. So, for just a moment, I'm going to focus on these sailing sea lions.
#worldonfire #bombs
Puget Sound / Olympia, Washington area (Eld Inlet), where two massive ''Steller sea lions'' decided to take over a small sailboat while someone was out fishing.
These two look like large adult males (or one big male and a large female). Together, that's like 10 big men casually lounging on a small sailboat — no wonder it's sitting so low in the water and listing to one side!
For comparison: A typical male California sea lion (the ones you see at piers in California) is much smaller: ~300 kg / 660 lb. on average, max around 350–400 kg.

#Kidlit creator @SuzElsonAuthor hopes her new #picturebook helps young readers realize it's OK to be different.
Wouldn't it be boring if all 8 billion of us were exactly the same!?!
