Thank you, @ajirving.bsky.social! I have so many fond memories of peering through the telescope with my dad, too—and this book officially comes out on his birthday! ❤️🪐❤️
ajirving.bsky.social A.J. Irving 🩷💜💙 @ajirving.bsky.social · Oct 1
This BB brings back some of my favorite childhood memories with my dad. I adore the rhyming exchange between the mother and child. The “tell me” refrain, sidebars, and soft illustrations create a perfect combination for a sweet and accessible book for the youngest readers! @lisavperron.bsky.social
