Lena the Chicken (but Really a Dinosaur) by Linda Bailey and K-Fai Steel. This seemingly simple story encourages kids to choose their own path and not be held back by others' expectations. An instant classic. #Tundra #Netgalley 📚👍🏼#Canlit

Unbelievable…Ukraine is still being pummeled, civilians freezing and dying, and the world just shrugs like it’s yesterday’s headline. Have we really become so numb that another brutal assault barely registers? Turning away from their suffering isn’t “fatigue” it’s moral failure.

They live under constant threat of torture, rape, execution, imprisonment, and starvation.
The West must help Ukraine defeat Russia and liberate these people. There are millions of them.
