Thank you, Melanie!! 💕💕🌼

This picture book cover is titled AT THE WINDOW by Hope Lim, illustrated by Qin Leng. A child with a backwards red baseball cap, long brown hair, white skin, and a t-shirt and shorts holds a leash as a small brown dog pulls the child down the sidewalk. Child looks up at the window of a neighbor woman who is writing in front of her window. There's a small plot with green plants below her window, and a large tree next to her house.

AT THE WINDOW is a lovely picture book. Lim's poetic writing and Leng's watercolor art reminded me of that feeling of discovery and adventure that kids are so good at finding, even in an everyday stroll through the neighborhood. Big themes of #connection and #perspective

Sourgrass cover

"Soft whimsical illustrations are the perfect complement to this wistful story of two best friends who cement their bond over the sourgrass that grows in the field beyond their backyards...Look for the hopeful twist at the end."

A little promo picture for our podcast,The Sartorial Librarians, which shows the books and outfits we will be discussing in the episode. In the bottom left corner, there is a photo with Paul Vinelli on one side and Christopher Hunt on the other side, each of them wearing the outfits that are discussed as #LibrarianFashion in this episode of the podcast. In the top right corner, is the cover image for Opposites Abstract by Mo Willems. In the bottom right is a photo of the book cover for I Am A Bird by Hope Lim and Hyewon Yum. In the top left corner is the logo for the podcast, which features a book with the podcast title, white letters on a pink cover, over top of close-up of a brown-with-orange-stripe cardigan sweater, buttoned over a tie with blue white and orange diagonal plaid over top of a button up shirt with plaid in orange, black, blue and gray and white. Library Looks: Paul goes full preppy with a button up, tie and dark sweater. Chris geek chic riots with a jumble of colours, patterns and textures. Library Books: I Am A Bird by Hope Lim and Hyewon Yum Opposites Abstract by Mo Willems Library Tangents: Two guys wearing ties; Dead Poets Society prep; a riot of colour and pattern; revisiting the logo; conveying movement in illustrations; subtle side eye; not overreading others; questioning the question; abstractions for building discussion, debate, or consensus; differing ways of seeing.
