This #PB, although written about a time long past, feels very relevant today. And gives me hope. Resilience is often exemplified through art. BLOOMING BEHIND BARBED WIRE is beautifully written by @tracihuahn.bsky.social and illustrated by @mayumisasage.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social #kidlit
