the cover of The Great & The Small by A.T. Balsara shows the profile of a teen girl with flowing hair, in black and red and a yellow moon against a turquoise sky.

A thought provoking, layered #YA novel by @torreybalsara.bsky.social, #TheGreatandtheSmall with captivating illustrations by the author. Two points of view: a human girl & young rat, each navigating buried trauma alongside external threats in their intersecting worlds. #kidlit #CanKitLit 📚👍🏻

On the cover of the picture book It Began with a Buzz by Shiva Delsooz, a young girl holds her ears in her hands and has a frown on her face.

In It Began With a Buzz by @shivadelsoozart.bsky.social a girl struggling with tinnitus finds a way to cope. This relatable #picturebook sings with emotional resonance in high fidelity.
