This is the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built."🏠

I got the Tomie de Paola Commemorative Panel from the US Postal Service. The background image is from “The Clown of God”, and the stamps are from “Strega Nona”. ❤️

#Classic #Kidlit for the holidays, no matter which you celebrate. Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins stands the test of time all the way from my 1980s childhood! 5⭐️ #CaldecottMedal #BookSky 💙📚 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

#CaldecottMedal "We Are Water Protectors" by Carole Lindstrom & Michaela Goade. Inspired by Indigenous-led movements like Standing Rock, this lyrical masterpiece is a rallying cry for environmental justice and the sacredness of our planet's most vital resource. www.aycarambagifts.com/product-page...
