Hey #educator friends! This would be a great #PB to have in your classroom, especially for any students affected by a disaster or painful move.
And for my #STEM friends, an engineering challenge to see how many “things” your robot chipmunk could carry?

#kidlit friends, you’ll want to watch this. This PB is soooo good! Heartwarming & I giggled out loud.
A chipmunk’s home is destroyed so he stuffs his cheeks with his remaining possessions— and in time, he finds that it’s okay to let go of his tight hold on the past so he can smile again.
Flying in just under the cutoff, my #50PreciousWords entry, Pelican Plunge, was inspired from this beach scene I captured last weekend.

Troll is such a fun and heartwarming read. The impeccable word choice, the rhyme, the illustrations, the oh-so-important message… perfection!
