Seeking your suggestions of contemporary authors writing non-fiction, esp. biography, to slake the appetite of an early high school age reader ! She has a strong preference for living authors, but historical topics are fine #edusky #kidlitchat #biography #nonfiction #MG #YA

Amanda carries a taser, mace and a pistol. She’s not a gang member, she’s a US librarian Amanda Jones spoke out against censorship at her local public library and walked straight into the battle to ban books playing out across the US.

Amanda's stance against #censorship takes her to #Australia because what's happening in the US can happen anywhere www.smh.com.au/national/ama...

I love this idea. Sometimes the B story is more fun or touching -- though less "important "

Have you herd? Clydesdales step in to support young wild horse After falling ill just days after his birth in May at the Minnesota Zoo, Marat, an Asian wild horse, was transferred to the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center.

GPS tags for Dartmoor ponies grazing wild areas of west Cornwall - BBC News The National Trust says the move is vital for conservation as ponies feeding help wildflowers bloom.

The National Trust has started fitting GPS collars to some of its ponies to make sure they can be tracked across the 1,482 acres (600 hectares) of land they help manage. #ponies #wildhorses #stem #horselover

This was a good read.

Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie".

I'm not even joking. πŸ˜‚

The trappings of the times we live in change, but the antidote is always, always, always going to be kindness, chosen family, compassion, and folks taking care of each other. In that respect, my themes around them don't change much at all. #kidlitchat

#KidLitChat The main form/genre I observe is MG verse novel. And I do notice trends sometimes. Like we just had something like 3 or 4 different MG NIV with forest fire related stories. Each one was distinct. And they could all be read without feeling like you were getting the same story.

I promote #books as Halloween treats that are still there in the morning & don't trigger anyone's allergies. I do the same at Valentine's Day. Of course, eating candy while you READ = paradise #kidlitchat
