Announcing the 2026 Buckeye Children’s Book Award nominees for grades 3-5: Stalactite & Stalagmite: A Big Tale From a Little Cave by Drew Beckmeyer #DrewBeckmeyer @simonkids.bsky.social

No. 9 in my #FavePicturebooks25: “Stalactite and Stalagmite” by #DrewBeckmeyer — two rock formations grow a friendship over millions of years in a cave! Science, whimsy and philosophy makes a wildly original, funny, and tender tale of time, change & connection. #PicturebookPage

I’ll share pages later today but Stalactite & Stalagmite by #drewbeckmeyer is a phenomenal book! It tells the history of the planet in a genius way! So clever and so funny. Would make a great read aloud. #picturebooks #geography #science
