When parents can set reading limits for their own child, fewer than 10% choose to restrict access.
Most families trust guidance and conversation, not bans.
You can guide your child without deciding for mine.
Protect choice. Trust librarians. Keep libraries open.

I was going through some of my old projects this weekend and came across this one from over a decade ago. I'm still pretty happy with it, even after all these years!
What pieces of art that you created long ago do you still like? Share them here!

These Chunkies drawing sticks are the GOAT of toddler drawing materials. Low mess, vibrant colors, lots of fun to draw with. I may enjoy drawing with them more than my toddler ;)
What are you favorite kid's drawing / crafting supplies?

If it ever proves its actual usefulness to our actual lives, stops plagiarizing, and is no longer an environmental disaster, maybe we revisit. Burden of proof is on the industry. So far theyβve done the opposite of that!

Wondering - what kind of community do #KidLit folks miss anyway?
Itβs not all about marketing to potential buyersβ¦ what else are we talking about missing from βthe good olde daysβ?
Iβve been active on #bsky for a year now, and Iβve followed around 4000 new accounts, I mostly follow artists and scientists. What a great year! Looking forward to find and follow new people. First feed that I enjoy checking out is #SciArt (and few others are in comments)
