We are trying something new! A brand new club for introverts. You probably think - oh hey, introverts don’t like clubs - but they like this one!
Silent Book Club. Every lunch in the library. Bring a book. Read. Enjoy the silence.
It’s just awesome❤️ #rtla38 #sd38learn #introvert

We had a wonderful time meeting author @jacquillo_
His story, The Words We Share, connected w our kids, many of whom are recent arrivals to Canada and relate to Jack’s experience of learning a new language while helping their family navigate their learning too.

I was so glad to chat w/ @JenaNBenton about THE WORDS WE SHARE, especially given her exp as a teacher who've met many students like the main character of the book. "That's why I imagine [WORDS] could have been written by any one of them." A beautiful affirmation — thank you Jena!
Today’s Simply 7 has so much insight into Jack Wong’s creation process. #interview #kidlit #bookblogger #picturebook

I had the pleasure of witnessing Rebecca develop this brilliant concept book and it is still one my favourite things I've ever seen from any critique partner and I think about it a lot 👀
Opposites x Food Chain in LITTLE MINNOW, BIG FISH, a delightfully dark concept book where predators become prey with the turn of a page, and illustrations tell the story behind deceptively innocent word pairs:
Soft jellyfish, Hard turtle
Slow turtle, Fast shark
