Hey #kidlit community! I write PB & MG, fiction & NF. All for creativity, play, intimacy, curiosity. I β€οΈ writing about the natural world but have recently gotten geeky with tech STEM projects. Writing kept me alive through decades home in bed fr chronic illness. Aiming for pub, committed regardless.
π«ΆπΌ π Salmon Run π π«ΆπΌ by Annie Chen
Watercolors transport the reader to a water world,
revealing the salmon's lifecycle. So simple, so elegant.
It's enough to learn one beautiful thing about the world. π

I think it was a good decision! The one you went with is striking and easy to understand.

Yup. It was such a broad voter suppression proposal that the defeat doesn't say anything about the popularity of a voter ID requirement.

It was so much more than voter ID. So even though the voter ID element alone should have killed it, in this case I think most voters would see something in it that would impact them or someone they're connected to. I'm not sure you can use this victory to draw conclusions about voter ID laws.

Marvelous drawings of a traffic jam
and that rain-heavy sky
and so many looking away,
as a kitten crosses traffic.
But someone...
_screeech!_
A meditation
a provocation
a call to be late...
just in time.
I kept thinking,
"We're all this kitten."

This was my first of Zoey Abbott's, and I immediately gobbled up every other one I could get.
She is _masterful_ at making a potent story out of every day stuff. Just exactly what I love. π

Super intrigued! Integrating science and story, fact and feeling, is certainly my dream, so I can't wait to read it. In the meantime, can you say anything more about the science part? I'm puzzling over the "trillions of years ago" timeline in a universe much younger than that. What am I missing?
