Read @authorgracelin.bsky.social's BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR w/our school community based special education students using a @noveleffect.bsky.social soundscape today, then used folded cupcake wrappers to create fire-breathing dragons. Love how they turned out! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky #kidlit

The Grace Lin exhibit at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is delightful. How cool to see early sketches paired with final illustrations. And, as a Book Friends Forever podcast patron, I recognize that notebook cover!

Imperial guardian lions

Currently reading @authorgracelin.bsky.social 's book "The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon" so, of course I had to stop and snap a picture of these imperial guardian lions that we passed on the street today.

I shared a behind-the-scenes look at curating a retrospective of @authorgracelin.bsky.social's work for @carlemuseum.bsky.social (a process that I found similar to reporting and writing a journalistic story). If you were thinking about seeing the show, go soon. It's up for 7 more weeks.
