First day of Middle Grade March! What better way to celebrate than with these beautiful photos of Odin! He's the adorable son of my assistant Marcella. As you can see, Odin is already building his growing book collection. Seeing his love of stories is the best kind of March magic!

1/2 Middle Grade March is just around the corner, and I wanted to highlight some black authors in the genre as we continue to celebrate Black History Month!

1/2 Living in rural areas means I've had firsthand experience of data centers moving in. Now more than ever, it's important to highlight the sustainability of human created books. Swipe through the slides to learn more about why sustainable storytelling matters.

1/2 Today's featured author is Edgar Allan Poe, whose The Raven is regarded as American's most famous poem. The slides feature some more facts about his life and writing.

2/2 Spaying and neutering also gives pets a longer, healthier life. As Bob Barker always said at the end of Price is Right,

β€œHelp control the animal population, have your pet spayed or neutered.”

1/2 Today is World Spay Day, created to raise awareness about the benefits of spay/neutering. Millions of animals enter shelters each year, but spaying/neutering reduces the population, and gives animals the chance of being adopted instead of euthanized due to overcrowding.

My mother Betty is having some fun making more snow angels! We've had a blast this winter with the beautiful snowfalls. Fun fact, humans are not the only ones who leave patterns in the snow. If a pheasant flies low over snow, marks from their wings can leave behind feathery angel shapes.

During the winter months, me and Mom seem to bake more bread! There's nothing that warms up the kitchen more than getting a fresh loaf out of the oven. If you're looking for an analog activity, you should definitely bake up some bread. Studies show the act of kneading reduces stress.

1/2 Winter is a great time to embrace analog activities. Crochet and knitting are winter staples for me, and I love to spend more time creating watercolors. Despite the cold, winter is also a great time to take a nature walk. More tips in the slides.❄️

2/2 Truly a trailblazer, Jones' work to desegregate libraries led to her as the first recipient of the Distinguished Service Librarianship Award by the ALA’s Black Caucus in 1970 and the Trailblazer Award in 1990.

1/2 Clara Stanton Jones was the first woman, and first African American to serve as director of a major library system in the US. Truly a trailblazer, she also became the first black president of the American Library Association.

2/3 Data centers also release pollutants into waterways, threatening aquatic life and the health of our planet. Swipe through the slides to see how AI data centers are impacting ecosystems and why protecting wildlife matters. And feel free to share this to help spread the word!

1/3 Happy National Wildlife Day! Our planet depends on wildlife, but AI data centers are creating new challenges. From stressing animals with constant noise, to disrupting natural rhythms with light pollution, these facilities are contributing to catastrophic effects for wildlife.

2/2 She had to fight for her patent rights by taking a man to court who tried to steal her invention and made the defense that she could not have invented the machine, because a woman couldn’t understand the complexities. She won that case, and received her patent!

1/ 2 February celebrates the inventions of women, and I wanted to highlight Margaret E. Knight, who changed brown bags. Prior to her invention that gave bags a flat bottom, they had a funnel shape making them more like envelopes. Her invention changed brown bag lunches forever.

1/3 I wanted to amplify the reports coming out regarding the culling of dogs in Morocco ahead of the World Cup. You don't have to worry when swiping through these slides as there's no graphic images. Just regular dog photos with information, as well as ways we can help.

It’s said the Inuit have 50 words for snow. But researchers at the University of Glasgow say that the Scots language has 421 words, including β€˜skelf’ (a large snowflake), β€˜spitters’ (small drops of driving snow) and β€˜unbrak’ (the beginning of a thaw).
