Huge thanks to Junior Library Guild for selecting ANIMAL CLIMATE HEROES as a gold standard book! This book is perfect for anyone aged 8 and up who wants to learn about these incredible critters--and how to become climate heroes themselves. @steamteambooks.bsky.social

We discovered a cheerful new Free Little Libary on our walk yesterday. #freelittlelibrary. One day I will build one, but for now, I enjoy finding them and adding a book here and there. 😀
