Cover of the picture book, Lena the Chicken (but really a dinosaur!) by Linda Bailey, illustrations by K-Fai Steele.

Lena the Chicken (but Really a Dinosaur) by Linda Bailey and K-Fai Steel. This seemingly simple story encourages kids to choose their own path and not be held back by others' expectations. An instant classic. #Tundra #Netgalley 📚👍🏼#Canlit

Massive Russian attack on Ukraine energy sector prompts sharp Zelenskyy rebuke and call for more help from allies Russian drone and missile strikes caused blackouts across large swaths of Ukraine, damaged residential buildings and injured at least 20 people in Kyiv, authorities said.

Unbelievable…Ukraine is still being pummeled, civilians freezing and dying, and the world just shrugs like it’s yesterday’s headline. Have we really become so numb that another brutal assault barely registers? Turning away from their suffering isn’t “fatigue” it’s moral failure.

Sexual violence, torture and betrayal: Life under Putin's occupation Evidence gathered by The Telegraph reveals Russia is using rape as a weapon of war in occupied Ukraine

Millions of Ukrainians are trapped in Russian fascist occupation.
They live under constant threat of torture, rape, execution, imprisonment, and starvation.
The West must help Ukraine defeat Russia and liberate these people. There are millions of them.

cover of The Hitchhikers, new novel by Chevy Stevens

The Hitchhikers: a thrilling ride of tense terror. An American couple taking an RV holiday across Canada befriend a young couple who seem to be in need. The interplay of personalities as each couple tries to stay alive is utterly consuming. An unputdownable thriller. @stmartinspress.bsky.social
