Ready to rev up your bookshelves? We’re 3 months out from hitting the trail! Available for pre-order!

I spy so many lovely books including @schaubwrites.bsky.social's A PLACE FOR RAIN. Congrats, Michelle!

Thanks, Justin!

Having given one of these last year - can say it was a great success!

Cover of "Aliens Get the Sniffles Too!" Written by Katy S. Duffield. Illustrated by K. G. Campbell. Background is outer space, young blue alien sneezes "AHHH-CHOO!" towards his yellow alien dog with 3 eyes.

A little alien is sick, and his family is trying to help him feel better- especially their dog Mars Rover. Cute illustrations and lots of fun onomatopoeia. Kids were cracking up at this one.

Thanks so much, Sarah!

If there are animals lovers (both young and older!) on your list, consider these two books about #WildlifeCrossings. @bengoldfarb.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social

Thanks so much, Kristin! It's looking like a January 2026 pub date, but I've seen some gorgeous sketches, so I'm already excited about it!

Have y'all seen this gorgeous and important book? From its rhyming text to its precious art--and mostly to its inclusive message, this is a book that every classroom and every library needs. Congrats to @andriarosenbaum.bsky.social and @DreamChen on this fabulous book!

Hey illustrators, it’s time for school! I’m looking for an artist who can bring humor + commercial appeal to full-color graphic reader series set in a school (2nd Grade). Respond here w/ images and a link to your folio. Please no emails or direct messages on other platforms. 💙❤️

Teachers, if you're looking for STEM lessons plans, take a look at Kristen Nordstrom and Kristin Majda's wonderful article "Designing Wildlife Crossings" in a recent issue of Science and Children. www.nsta.org/science-and-...

For me, they’ve just shown up from time to time—and I haven’t been very active in here yet, so I suspect it may be determined by time.

Hi Julie!
