Children's books should be for ALL CHILDREN! But the new Reflecting Realities report from @theclpe.bsky.social shows a worrying decline in representation. Publishers need to respond and do better: we need books for EVERYONE!

CAT ADVISORY: With temperatures remaining uncomfortably low and #StormBert on its way it's important that you find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell your humans to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.
