Sat.April 5, 10:30 AM join me and Chris Slesar to find out how the #MonktonWildlifeTunnels helped inspire my new amphibian migration #picturebook SAFE CROSSING at the #PiersonLibrary with the #FlyingPigBookstore @chroniclebooks.bsky.social #kidlit #roadwayecology #amphibians #amphibianmigration

A girl wearing a yellow raincoat and a headlamp on a street near a wetland thinks about how amphibians return to vernal pools they hatched from to lay their own eggs.

"They must be going back to where THEY first hatched out of THEIR eggs, where THEIR mothers laid jelly eggs in the water," I think out loud. - From SAFE CROSSING, out 1/7 from @chroniclebooks.bsky.social #picturebookart #kidlitart #kidlit #amphibianmigration #handsonlearning #epiphany

SAFE CROSSING - "An inspiring and aspirational choice for youngsters looking to get more involved with bettering the world around them." -#BCCB. So thankful for this recommendation from the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books! #amphibianmigration #amphibians #kidlit #MegaKidLit
