Thank you for sharing, Patricia! Butterfly Sea releases December 15th! 🦋 🧜♀️ 🏴☠️ 🌊 🌺 📕
Butterfly Sea, by Cynthia Mackey and Marie-Laure Couët, is a charming story that uses lyrical language and soft, beautiful illustrations to remind us to slow down and enjoy the quiet surprises in life.🥰 🦋 #ButterflySea @booksbycindy.bsky.social @marielaurecouet.bsky.social @tielmourpress.bsky.social

In THE TRAVELING TACO by @pragmaticmom.bsky.social and #KimberlieClinthorneWong, kids can learn about where some of their favorite foods came from (not just tacos). I love that it's very browsable with bright, bold illustrations & bite-sized pieces of text. 😍🌮

This #picturebook by @carriefinison.bsky.social and Brian Biggs is so much fun! With #rhyming that rolls of your tongue it tells the story of Rosie as she builds a road with the help of her crew, but when exhaustion hits, the crew will prove the value of #teamwork! A must read for sure!

And for my #STEM friends, an engineering challenge to see how many “things” your robot chipmunk could carry?

Spanish discovery of the day: Me voy a ir yendo. Literally something like "I am going to go going." Actually makes perfect sense to me. The equivalent in Texas would be, "I'm fixin' to get going." As in gotta brush my teeth first, get dressed, maybe watch this TV show, but I'll get there eventually.
