I am a school librarian in a blue state (yay!). A hobbiest who has more ideas for hobbies, than actual hobbies. My name is not Jen, but all my life, I have been mistakenly called Jen, so I thought it would be a good user name!

I wrote a Haiku:

Silence

Delicate blossoms
Malevolence kills

Book of the day: "The undefeated" by Kwame Alexander and illustrated by Kadir Nelson @kadirnelson.bsky.social
4th graders are researching the historical figures represented in this amazing book. Reading it as part of an awards unit, but timed for Black History Month. Representation matters.
Picture of the cover of "The undefeated" by Kwame Alexander and illustrated by Kadir Nelson. The cover illustration pictures five figures from Black history. Cover also has the Coretta Scott King Award, The Caldecott Award, and The Newbery Honor.

Book of the day: Lefty by Mo Willems, illustrated by @dansantat.bsky.social . As a fellow lefty, I felt seen. As an elementary librarian, I appreciate the slightly tongue-in-cheek and subversive message! A great addition for the library!

Yes, please!

A recent hike in Vermont.
A November view of a mountain lake in Vermont. Beautiful blue sky, blue water and bare trees.

My Aurora is not longer with us, but I wanted to pay the pet tax. She was the best!
Adorably picture of the cutest yellow golden doodle smiling.
