I love seeing BTS like this bc it comes from a piece of art where you're like "How did he do that??" to watching carefully over the process and going "Ooooooh, so that's how he did that" and unlocking some new knowledge for yourself that makes art seem less impossible

Happy #BookWeekScotland! We’re super excited that every P2 child in Scotland is receiving a copy of The Ballad of Cactus Joe. That’s a lot of books in the hands of young readers! I hope everyone enjoys the story.
Thank you @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social #readwritecount 💙

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.
