I so glad TINY DINOSAUR by @deborahfreedman.bsky.social exists. Explaining in a clear, kid-friendly way the science of why hummingbirds are dinosaurs and crocodiles are not.

@nidhiart.bsky.socialLove this page from @nidhiart.bsky.social ’s SHARK PRINCESS because
We need more #kidlit with Whale Sharks! They’re the largest (and, apparently, toothiest) shark.

I was so moved by @victoriaying.bsky.social’s HUNGRY GHOST. A harrowing (though never melodramatic) story of bulimia, family and trying to be the “perfect” daughter. Also has an amazing BFF (#TeamJordan) and a well-meaning mom who refuses to see the damage she’s doing.

Didn’t know I needed some #Steampunk flavor in my post-apocalyptic #MG fiction but loved THE FOG DIVER by Joel Ross.
