Don't know where to start with all the things I loved about this halftime show but it was brilliant. The staging, the sugar cane, the representation, the dancing, the JOY. Yes, yes, yes.

A wonderful new series from @erindowning.bsky.social for animal-loving young readers ready for longer chapters and no illustrations - a gentle story for tender-hearted readers. Perfect for after @elanakarnold.bsky.social's Bat series or @katemessner.com's Wildlife Rescue series. #mglit
