My preorder of AGGIE AND THE GHOST by @mattforsythe.bsky.social came in, but I am following the rules and not purchasing till it’s officially out on Tues. But I did take a peek, and somehow I’m both Aggie and the ghost.

Happened to get 2 nonfic snail books from the library (on Emily Hughes & Enchanted Lion kicks). Both were beautifully made. The Snail is about Noguchi, & it continues to reinforce my love for pic book bios (which are concise, poetic, & highlight both the biggest & quirkiest details about a person).

My second staff pick of the year! Read this GN last summer and immediately loved it. Was so thrilled to see it win the Printz Award this year!

First staff pick / shelf talker of the year: elseship. Oof. This book. Big Tree Abraham fan over here. Immediately snapped up Cyclettes right after. 🖤

The Sato the Rabbit books are pure dreamy playful magic. Through gorgeous vivid spreads, this one (out July 15) makes me want to wake up early, live in a lighthouse, drink sparkles, and let my imagination dance. If you need to feel some whimsy, pick up any Sato book.

Been a fan of @lucyknisley.bsky.social since high school when I found French Milk at the library. Most recently into her Stepping Stones books, which perfectly capture growing at different rates from your friends & juggling family obligations while being true to yourself throughout it all.

This cute friendship book that combines two of the best things (books and cookies evidently) and how they’re even better when shared. Thanks for the rec, @allielevick.bsky.social!

Getting back into Taro Gomi. (I mean I was into Everyone Poops with every other kid in the ‘90s but I’m happy to be discovering his other work now! Just look at that plant!!)
