I would like someone to write a cartoon based on “The Circus Ship” by Chris Van Dusen. The animals hiding in new ways from Mr. Paine during each episode’s subplot are the gags.
@chrisvandusenbooks.bsky.social I told you this face to face once. So excited to see what they’re building at the MMM!

AirPlay to APPLETV.

I lost everything I made on #Canva after they accused me of breaking terms of service with zero explanation. It’s been almost a month. I’m so bummed. Anyone else experience this?

Book fair starts tomorrow. It’s just books. No science kits, no fluffy journals, no art supplies, no magic spy pens. Not even posters.
I do it to focus on reading—-to kept trinkets out of the classrooms and to avoid theft. Do I make as much money for the library? Heck no!
But I make readers.

I've created an index to #KidLit #MGLit #YALit community-sourced resources (in my Unofficial Guide To Bluesky) here: debbieohi.link/kidlit-index
You can also use the SEARCH tool to look for what you want. With community help, I'm gradually filling out content.

Created a #KidLit Starter Pack of KidLit/YA Art Directors & Book Designers. Still small, hoping more join Bluesky 🤞🏼. To published illustrators out there; pls nudge your ADs? I'll nudge mine again as well.

Hi #kidlitchat I’m a K-4 school librarian from Maine! Glad I finally made the switch! I love kids book chats!
