Awww, they are beautiful, Traci!

Nevada Reading Week is just around the corner! I'm excited to be visiting 10 fantastic Clark County Schools. Can't wait to share my nonfiction and informational fiction picture books with over 5,000 young readers. 😍

Text says, "HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY" and there is the cover of the picture book, "ANYONE ELSE AWAKE?" by Carmela LaVigna Coyle and Bonnie Kelso. On the cover is a picture of a robin singing while perched on a pine branch. There is a birthday cake graphic in the lower left hand corner and the PBSpree logo in the right hand corner.

Happy book birthday to @bonniekelso.bsky.social and Carmela LaVigna Coyle!!! 🥳 ANYONE ELSE AWAKE? is a beautiful lyrical #picturebook about songbirds that describes the unique voices of eleven common species. Look for it at your bookstore or library! #kidlit

Author-illustrator Bonnie Kelso puts One Can Be, a picture book by Pat Zietlow Miller and Annie Cron, in to a large, lovely Little Free Library in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Getting ONE CAN BE into a @LtlFreeLibrary in each state, I’ve met kidlit folks I didn’t know before. Like Nevada's @bonniekelso.bsky.social, who’s traveled the world seeking "truth and cuteness." Bonnie made Nevada the 36th state to have ONE CAN BE in a LFL. #onecanbe #50states #nevada
