Fantastic @mprnews.org story on REVOLUTIONS ARE MADE OF LOVE with @sunyungshin.bsky.social, Melina Mangal, and Leslie Barlow: www.mprnews.org/episode/2025...

Front cover of the picture book Liftoff! How the Apollo Moon Missions Made Alma Thomas's Art Soar by author and illustrator Nina Crews. The art depicts a fantastical image of Alma Thomas, a middle-aged woman with medium brown skin and gray hair in an updo. She wears a purple dress and over it is a light blue apron/smock with paint splatters on it. She's standing suspended on a cloud above an indistinct portion of Earth, as though in space, and holds a paintbrush in her hands, which are clasped behind her back. On the right side of the cover, slightly more in the background, is a spacecraft rocketing into space, presumably on the Apollo 10 mission. Interspersed are bits of color (red, yellow, blue, purple) in curved rectangle shapes that are emblematic of the style of stripes Alma used in many of her paintings.

Front cover of the picture book Revolutions Are Made of Love: The Story of James Boggs and Grace Lee Boggs by Sun Yung Shin, Melina Mangal, and Leslie Barlow. It features Chinese American Grace on the left side of the cover in profile with light tan colored skin, black eyes, and very dark brown hair (with some pink and blue tones) looking straight ahead, head held high. On the right side of the cover facing her is James, a Black man with medium brown skin and black hair with tight cirls and a black mustache. He is looking toward Grace, head held high and a very slight smile on his face. The background is a blue-ish purple color, which contrasts with the warm tones of Grace and James's faces.

Happiest of book birthdays to two picture books I adore! LIFTOFF! by @ninacrews.bsky.social and REVOLUTIONS ARE MADE OF LOVE by @sunyungshin.bsky.social, Mélina Mangal, and Leslie Barlow. 🎉📚🎉

Thanks for reading and sharing!

Happy Earth Day! 🌱 May the wind messing my hair, sun making me squint, and sand hugging my toes always be more important to me than a perfect selfie. Celebrating nature in all its glory today, and every day. ♥️ #EarthDay2025 #EarthDay

Dear Miranda, I love your book about Isatou. My favorite part was when you wrote about Isatoh helping the community and how isatou solved the problem…p.s. you are the best author. From Josie and Timmy

Show me #kittens. Please.

A little cold and windy but families showed up today for the book fair in Door County, Wisconsin! Really fun to show off our newest books.

It was so cool. What a great idea. #Educators and #librarians think of everything!
