No research angle here—just my favorite children’s book for #ChildrensBookDay.
I swear this book is what made me go on to get a PhD in philosophy.
So. Many. Questions.

After stumbling on a @archive.org book owned by W.E.B. Du Bois yesterday, I went looking for children’s books about him for #ChildrensBookDay today and can't find any. Help??
Instead: posting this 2026 Jane Addams Children's Book Award winner. Addams & Du Bois were allies, so this seems right!
A 2x2 collage of four colorful children's nonfiction picture book covers celebrating trailblazing women. Top left: Queen of Physics — an illustration of Chien-Shiung Wu in a white lab coat smiles at a desk covered in papers and scientific diagrams, with atoms and stars floating around her. Top right: Wangari’s Trees of Peace — Wangari Maathai, wearing a bright yellow patterned dress and headwrap, kneels to plant a tree against a backdrop of African mountains and sky. Bottom left: The Amazing Story of Jane Goodall — Jane Goodall in a green shirt kneels in a lush jungle, gently interacting with a chimpanzee. Bottom right: The Doctor with an Eye for Eyes — close-up of Dr. Patricia Bath, a Black woman with dark hair, holding an eye-examination device against a purple background decorated with cartoon eyes.
📚 Happy International #ChildrensBookDay!

Children’s book cover for “THE GIRL WHO THOUGHT IN PICTURES: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin,” written by Julia Finley Mosca and illustrated by Daniel Rieley. The colorful cartoon illustration shows a young girl with brown curly hair and large eyes, with white dashed lines radiating from her head to symbolic images including a cow saying “Mooo…”, a launching rocket, a person riding a horse, a blue award ribbon, a cattle chute, and geometric drawings.
It's also International #ChildrensBookDay & there are so many kids' books about admirable women & girls.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 (Mosca, Rieley, 2017) tells the story of how Dr. Temple Grandin used her visual thinking skills to become an amazing scientist. #WomenInSTEM #KidLit #booksky

My favorite book was "Brownie & His Friends" and it still sits on my shelf. (It's not a password so I don't mind sharing)

Today is international #ChildrensBookDay. In a world full of wars, do children have the right to learn about this reality through books?
Literary scholar Birgitte Beck Pristed describes how Ukrainian & Russian children’s book publishers are acting in their different situations for #ZOiS_Spotlight.
Cover of One Potoroo: A Story of Survival by Penny Jaye, illustrated by Alicia Rogerson showing a Gilbert’s Potoroo emerging from a handling bag surrounded by flowers.
Cover of The Spectacular Spencer Gray by Deb Fitzpatrick showing a boy riding his bicycle through the bush at night with a Gilbert’s Potoroo’s head poking out of his backpack.
Today is #childrensbookday & to celebrate we’re highlighting 2 of our favourite #GilbertsPotoroo themed books. It’s so exciting to see Gilbert’s Potoroo increasingly making it into kids literature & the stories being nominated for awards &/or featuring in teaching notes etc #conservationeducation
Happy International #ChildrensBookDay! Founded in 1967 it's celebrated on Hans Christian Andersen's birthday.
I didn't read his stories as a child but Enid Blyton mysteries, Tolkien fantasy, E Nesbit's adventures, and Roger Lancelyn Green's mythology re-tellings all made me.
What books made you?

A republic of fearing children’s books by Shanna Shepard
There is something almost literary about the contradiction itself, a kind of dark allegory.
