Text says, "HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY" and there is the cover of the picture book, "ANYONE ELSE AWAKE?" by Carmela LaVigna Coyle and Bonnie Kelso. On the cover is a picture of a robin singing while perched on a pine branch. There is a birthday cake graphic in the lower left hand corner and the PBSpree logo in the right hand corner.

Happy book birthday to @bonniekelso.bsky.social and Carmela LaVigna Coyle!!! 🥳 ANYONE ELSE AWAKE? is a beautiful lyrical #picturebook about songbirds that describes the unique voices of eleven common species. Look for it at your bookstore or library! #kidlit

Months and over 100 hours of volunteering led to me finally passing my horse leader test at The Right Step, an adaptive riding barn. Now I can lead a horse with a client on its back! It’s so satisfying to go from being a total beginner to competent. 🥰🎉
