@boringstorybook.com Hi, I am a kidlit author, new to bluesky, and hoping to join some of the feeds such as Kidlit Community and KidLit Mega Feed. But I am having a hard time figuring out how to join and be able to post. I read somewhere that I should contact you and request to be added? Thanks.
The first review for I AM WE is in, and I'm overjoyed to see that it's a star from Kirkus!

I still can't figure out how to join this or be a part of it, though I did read that how-to post. New to blue sky and a bit confused by all of it.
WOW! If you haven't read I AM WE: How Crows Come Together to Survive by @lesliebarnardbooth.bsky.social, you must! It pairs lyrical text with information so well. 5 stars!

Thank you so much for reading and sharing @carrenjao.bsky.social!
An inside look at "One Day This Tree Will Fall." It depicts a branch that is filled with life despite being a tree that's gone through a lot of hardships.
Sometimes when we think a story ends, it is where it begins. @lesliebarnardbooth.bsky.social and Stephanie Fizer Coleman tell a beautiful story of constant beginnings. It’s a poignant lesson: that there is always a place to begin anew again. 📚👍🏼#kidlit #stem
So much fun! Always love visiting your school!
Another wonderful school visit from author and fellow Pomona College alum, Leslie Barnard Booth! @lesliebarnardbooth.bsky.social @pomonacollege.bsky.social
