This Judy Blume-inspired book about a 7th grader's first crush is both hilarious and wise and will be LOVED by young teens and by Gen X librarians and moms. It's on the younger end of #youngteenlit and recommended for collections serving middle schoolers. Thanks @kristinnilsen.bsky.social #tlsky

Found this whimsical little surprise on my walk at the park today. Were Alice and the caterpillar here? Or will they be here soon? Should I wait? What a delight to find this joyful display. Stories and curiosities pop up everywhere, if we take time to look around. TY to the artist for this gem 🤍
