The Birds of Christmas: A KidLit Bird Book Review Described as “stunning folktale about the Nativity, set on a chilly night in Bethlehem,” The Birds of Christmas, written by Olivia Armstrong and illustrated by Mira Miroslavova is a true delight.

For families with young children who celebrate Christmas (and for anyone who collects Christmas books) THE BIRDS OF CHRISTMAS, published by @ebyrbooks.bsky.social will make a perfect gift. #Birds #KidLit #Christmas www.10000birds.com/the-birds-of...

World-changing kindness is often found in "the small, unseen choices we make when no one is watching," says LATE TODAY author Jungyoon Huh.

As we approach Thursday's #WorldKindnessDay, how can we take time to be kind?

Tucker was a rambunctious shelter dog that no one wanted. Until Laura came along and saw that he might be just right for her home...and a special job. Could all his energy make him an amazing #conservation #dog?

Read more about Tucker in TROUBLE DOG! And happy #AnimalShelterAppreciationWeek!

THE CURIOUS LIFE OF CECILIA PAYNE | Kirkus Reviews Every constellation tells a story, and the tale of astronomer Cecilia Payne (1900-1979) is one of curiosity and discovery.

The Curious Life of Celia Payne provides a “stellar salute to the feminist scientist who showed us what stars are truly made of” @ebyrbooks.bsky.social Booth 206 #AASL25 www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
