SHARKS UNHOOKED by @patricianewman.bsky.social and illus. by Becca Hall is a wonderful book for shark lovers—and for creating new shark lovers! This non-fiction biography tells the story of underwater ranger Cristina Zenato who was able to connect and make a meaningful difference to so many sharks.
Cover: Best Buddies: Save The Duck by Vicky Fang and Luisa Leal. Dog and Cat trying to reach rubber ducky.
If you have an emerging reader, check out the BEST BUDDIES series by @fangmousbooks.bsky.social and #LuisaLeal. It is seriously so cute, featuring a cat and dog duo named Scratch and Sniff. The vocabulary is carefully chosen so your little one won't get frustrated reading it.
Thank you, Abi! ❤️
I learned so much from this fascinating historical fiction story about the origin of the fortune cookie from FORTUNE COOKIES FOR EVERYONE by @pragmaticmom.bsky.social and illustrated by Colleen Kong-Savage. Readers get a view at the complexities of history viewed through this relatable topic.
