The text in the speech bubbles reads "Hi Kidlit Postcard Day" "We are back" "With new friends!" "And more magenta!" "And teal." The bottom illustration is an evening scene in a meadow with a tree and a field and a lake in the background. There is a baby worm between the butterfly and worm and a blue stellars jay and a robin in the background. The jay is attempting to keep the robin away from the baby worm.
What's your favorite color? Hi #kidlitpostcardday! I'm Kaz Windness, and I love using teal and magenta in my art. Art directors say this is a good style branding approach, but I'm not doing this on purpose. Anyway, I hope you'll check out WORM AND BUTTERFLY ARE FRIENDS ALWAYS. #kidlit #graphicnovels

A mole, mouse, and bunny friend are sledding and stomping through the snow. Bottom left panel shows the mole pushing Bitsy on a sled and she flies through the air with the words "Whoosh! Zip! Zoom!" The third image shows Bitsy giving away her earmuffs, hat and scarf to a snowman while the rabbit looks concerned.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it??
Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky ๐๐
Itโs so frustrating! And I donโt want to be monetized. I even turned it off on TikTok. I just donโt wanna be suppressed from having my friends be able to see me.

Ode to a Slug by Kaz Windness I have never seen a bug, quite as handsome as a slug. Dancing eyes and glistening tail, writing love poems with their trail. Leading to our rendezvous, underneath these leaves of dew. To kiss my ripe and blushing face. Until Iโm gone without a trace.
What's your favorite creepy crawly? "Ode to a Slug" is based on a little friend I saw outside the barn at @highlightsfound.bsky.social on Thursday. And yes, I know slugs are not bugs, but the rhyme is to delicious to resist. #watercolor #collage #coloredpencil #digitalart

06.06.2025 14:01 โ ๐ 10 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0School Library Journal review of โBitsy Bat, School Starโ Spanish edition. Cover image with a light fur bat hanging upside down on a chalkboard. โThis picture book effectively shows readers that diversity and variety of body abilities is a normal part of attending school. Although Bitsy's autism is hinted at in the story, the authorโs note at the back of the book ยญclarifies her need for headphones, sunglasses, and other stimulus-reduction adaptations. A great title for children who can find their own diverse abilities in the story, as well as for those who want to see how every person is special in their own way. VERDICT A good purchase for libraries serving Spanish-speaking communities and where diverse and neurodivergent books are needed or in high demand. Reviewed by Carolina Youssif
Great review of โBitsy Bat, School Starโ in Spanish! #autismacceptance #bitsybat #spanishedition www.slj.com/review/bitsy...
