Conversation from a recent storytime:

Child: Here you go, Ms. Sheri. I want you to have this very special star.
Me: Oh, thank you! Are you sure you want to part with it?
Child: It's okay! I just found it stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

Storytime News: I read BIG BIKE, LITTLE BIKE by @kdubaygillis.bsky.social & @jacobsouva.bsky.social at my preschool storytimes last week. Favorite comment: “Uh oh! The bike crashed into the edge of the book!” 😊 Now it's in a cozy spot where there's already evidence that kids are "re-reading" it! 🥰

Thank you @oklibs.bsky.social for including Creep, Leap, Crunch! A Food Chain Story on the masterlist for the Donna Norvell Book Award! I'm incredibly grateful. @csneal.bsky.social @spanishbroom.bsky.social @randomhousekids.bsky.social Congratulations to the other four nominees! rb.gy/ewvruk
