#💙📚 #BookSky #ChildrensClassics Just finished reading. I realize it’s a book for children, but, I don’t remember reading it as a child, and books should be enjoyed no matter your age. It was delightful. I’ll skip how different the book is to the movie 😉
"Night at the Zoo" from a recent Mary Poppins challenge on IG. When the animals feed the humans who are, of course, behind bars. Who knew Mary P was this dark.

The author of The Secret Garden didn’t think of herself as a children’s writer. What she did think about and the subjects of the other 50 books she wrote are surprising open.substack.com/pub/lilianna... #booksky #childrensclassics #womenwriters

I took two 1911 “Peter and Wendy” book covers and was able to piece together a full cover. Hand re-drawn with a gold background (not foil).

A photograph showing my left hand holding the book, "The Pushcart War," by Jean Merrill with illustrations by Ronni Solbert. The book, which has a primarily yellow cover, has an illustration of a pushcart vendor using a pea shooter to shoot a tack at a truck tire.
The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill is a great way to introduce your kids to nonviolent civil disobedience. It's also a fun David vs. Goliath story. Perfect for our times when resistance is more important than ever. #booksforkids #childrensclassics #booksaboutresistance #civildisobedience
