Two picture book covers, one with Bea walking over large pebbles to avoid sand, with a book on lions in her hand. The other with two similar-looking dogs, with different characters.
These two heartwarming, fun, and gentle picture books are perfect to enjoy together or alone in a favorite reading snug.
BEA BY THE SEA by Jo Byatt 🦁🏖️

Remembering John Reynolds Gardiner, author who read his first novel at age 19--and then proceeded to write for children and young adults. This one always makes me cry. #ChildrensBooks #kidllit
April is Arab American Heritage Month & I am constantly getting asked to come read at schools, but have no books to sell. It would be lovely to expand your Arab author’s list to have books for families to buy during this month of awareness. Not even me specifically, any Arab #KidlLit writers.
A stunning MG book for those who love nonfiction, amateur & seasoned birders, or anyone curious about the truly amazing crow. www.mariacmarshall.com/single-post/... Candace Savage & Rachel Hudson Greystone Kids #nonfiction #kidllit #STEM

An overland map of ice dungeons called North Quest where Pizzard the Pizza Wizard explores 9 different puzzle rooms.
An image of a big blue yeti with big ears, a red and orange toque and matching pants, purple shirt with an evergreen tree on it who says "We are the twin guardians. Spot two differences between us to pass by. Beside him is the head of a snowman with carrot nose and fangs, three etes, a green striped toque with a pom pom, and has 6 spider-like appendages holding a gold staff topped with a castle in a snow globe.
Aw yis! My puzle page in Owl Magazine turned out amazing. My new favourite thing I've done for them! It's an overland map with lots of different puzzles and jokes. Check out the two guardians where you have to spot TWO differences between them. Can you do it?
