Kids. Books. I bring the two together and love what I do. Also: I believe that reading is reading, so read what you want! 2023 Geisel Committee member The opinions and views are mine. Pronouns: she/her/hers.

I'm sorry you & your friends are going through that. I, too, try to do something creative/read in order to focus on what is within my control. I also use the sensory check-in (5 things I can see, 4 things I can hear, 3 things I can feel....etc.) to ground myself and de-stress as much as I can.

A playful book cover featuring the title "I'M BORED" in bold blue letters against a light blue background. An illustration of a young girl with pigtails, wearing a striped shirt, leans against the word "BORED" with a disinterested expression. The Junior Library Guild Selection gold seal is displayed in the lower-right corner, highlighting the book's recognition.

My #oneword for 2025 is cultivate. I hope to grow new relationships, skills, and adventures, while also tending to existing friendships and things I love to do.

My first post here: any other Youth library professionals, #kidlit authors, or generally amazing people that I should follow (or who might want to follow me)? Thanks!

Day 16: 2023 Poetry Books for Kids. There just aren't a lot of new poetry collections out there. Fortunately, from the few that do exist, I've seen some really lovely stuff. Here's a 31 Days, 31 Lists selection of some great books. #kidlit πŸ“šπŸ‘ afuse8production.slj.com/2023/12/16/3...
