This collection of myths and historical stories by @authorgracelin.bsky.social (pub. @littlebrown.bsky.social) is a real feast; beautifully illustrated, it gives us a view into where various dishes come from, the tales behind them, and the development of food in American Chinese culture.
Many cities held Lunar New Year celebrations at the weekend, and we hope you enjoyed the start of the Year of the Fire Horse if you attended! If you've ever wondered about the stories behind your favourite foods, then we recommend the book Chinese Menu:

Thank you to @dannieprice.bsky.social for sending us a proof copy of @meltaylorbessent.bsky.social's fantastic new book, Riley Wright is Always Wrong!
The first day of school is bad enough - but it's even worse when you're as clumsy as Riley, AND your dad is the new headmaster!

She read some of her writing out, and then ran a 'make-a-monster' bookmark activity that saw some very creative ideas shared! It was a brilliant event, that was loved by kids and adults alike 🧌💙
