Stumbled across this gorgeous book at the library. Written by Oriane Smith and beautifully illustrated by Alice Gravier, it’s a celebration of small moments. The artwork on the left shows the view from a child’s eyes, while the right panel shows the world from a squirrel’s perspective. #kidlit #PB

“I am Scary” has been a hit in our house- Margot loves the illustrations, the yappy dog, roaring along with the monster, and… I’m pretty sure this book taught her the word “hug” and led to her now intentionally hugging us! 🥺 #kidlit #booksforbabies #boardbook @elisegravel.bsky.social

It’s been a while since I’ve posted! I want to get back to sharing some #kidlit books in this space. I’ll start with what my one year old has been loving lately- books that feature photos of babies and include rhyming.

Here are two that she requests over and over again!

@soontornvat.bsky.social Christina Soontornvat came to my school today. Always an inspiration to hear from authors and see they ways they interact with kids. The students love her many books and were so excited to meet her (as was I!) #kidlit #booksky

Our current read aloud is Finding Langston by Lesa Cline-Ransome, and the students are loving it. 📚 The other homeroom is reading Leaving Lymon. #edusky #kidlit

In honor of the awards being announced today, I’ve been admiring The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera on my bookshelf. I think this has to be one of my favorite book covers of all time! The artwork, by Raxenne Maniquiz, is stunning. Do you have a #kidlit book cover that you love? 💙 📚

My home office finally has a dedicated bookshelf for #kidlit and #writing books. Do you have a favorite craft book? I’m planning to reread my favorite, Story Genius by Lisa Cron, in the new year! 💙📚

When people ask if I’m going “home” for Christmas… I understand the sentiment, but the only place I consider home is the safe, peaceful space I’ve created with my husband, daughter, and cats. There is no other home to go to. 💕 🏠

We were gifted some great books for our daughter Margot before she was born, and I’d love to highlight some favorites here! #kidlit #picturebooks The lulling rhyme and calming illustrations make Sleepyheads one of our favorite bedtime reads. 📚

We were gifted some great books for our daughter Margot before she was born, and I’d love to highlight some favorites here! #kidlit #picturebooks First up is In Every Life by Marla Frazee. It is beautiful in its simplicity, made me cry when I first read it, and is full of GORGEOUS artwork. 😍

Impressed by the selection of children’s books at Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, run by the Audubon Society of Western PA. Super excited that the first book I saw was written by a Hollins alum! @rebekahlowell.bsky.social @hollinskidlit.bsky.social #KidLit

Hello, there! 👋 I am new to Blue Sky and hoping to connect with #kidlit and #writing communities! In honor of my first ever post, here is a poem I wrote- inspired by my cat Apollo's favorite toy shrimp. 😺
