The Legend of the Last Library by Frank L. Cole—Fun middle grade fiction in a world where paper and books are rare. Lots of interesting ideas about the role of technology. Back of the book discussion questions included. #kidlit #librarysky 📚👍🏻

Holiday centrepiece with the results of my #gardening this year. A mystery vine produced 9 gourds.

I love this cozy early chapter book series, The Heartwood Hotel by Kallie George, illustrated by Stephanie Graegin. The latest, Family Forever, includes a birthday related mystery. Not for every kid but for nature or animal lovers, an absorbing escape from our screen based world. #kidlit 📚👍🏻 #edusky

THOSE SHOES by Maribeth Boelts, illustrated by Noah Z. Jones, is a moving picture book about want vs need, making do and fitting in. Important reading material for all elementary students. #kidlit 📚👍🏻 #edusky #librarysky

Love this chapter book, Amina Banana and the Formula for Friendship, about a Syrian girl finding her place in a new country and school! Important underlying themes of kindness and not being afraid to be yourself. Good for read alouds with class discussion. #kidlit #chapterbooks #eduskyprimary

What a fun treasure hunt and mystery in The Last Chance Academy: A Study in Secrets by @debbimichiko.bsky.social! I really liked the friendship issues, how the kids worked them out and learned trust. A good classroom book! #MG #kidlit #edusky 📚👍🏻 #childrensbooks

Just read this sweet picture book,SUNDAY RAIN, illustrated by Amariah Rauscher, written by Rosie J. Pova. It’s about rain and imagination. This would be a nice one for an early years read aloud, followed up by drawing things to do on a rainy day or types of weather. 📚👍🏻 #kidlit #primarysky #edusky

I just finished SWEETY by Andrea Zuill. Not sure how I missed this when it first came out but it’s funny and cute and a great book for celebrating what makes you unique. It will be a nice read aloud for those first few getting-to-know-you weeks of school. 👍🏻📚 #kidlit #primaryedusky #edusky

I don’t often read graphic novels, but I loved HOW TO TALK TO YOUR SUCCULENT by Zoe Persico. It’s the story of a girl coping with grief, moving to a new place and making new friends. A good book for those kids who might be struggling with something they aren’t able to talk about. 📚👍🏻 #kidlit #edusky

I love watching what comes to my yard too. This week I saw a praying mantis in my garden (haven't seen one in ages).

Made this collage without thinking about whether it was "good" but just enjoying the process.

So excited for the next book in the Hedgehog Whodunnit series by Heather Preusser, illustrated by Gal Weizman! The first book in this chapter book series was a lot of fun so I’m sure this one will be too! Check out the story behind the story at kathytemean.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/b.... #kidlit

Made a collage card for a friend. Haven't had time to make art for a while and it was fun.
