Starve the corporations, not your neighbours.
We must Move Our Money, away from the forces of destruction aiding this regime & into our communities. From Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, folks are collectively committing to avoid Target, Amazon and Home Depot. If this leaves you $ to spare, local food banks, shelters, & community groups need it.

Rita the bear has a good friend who encourages her to dance, to follow her dreams even though she doesn’t look like all the other things ballerinas. A sweet body-positive story about following your dreams.

We have long possessed the ability to have everyone fed, clothed and housed and have chosen not to do so. Now, this regime demands the power to commit more aggravated impoverishment.

The lesson of the 20th Century turns out to have been that a hundred years can go by and no one will have learned a damn thing.

Here’s a porcupine for you all.
Introducing Ozzy! This prehensile-tailed porcupine, Zoo Boise's newest resident, is already becoming a star. 🌠

Settling into the renovated Small Animal Kingdom's Rainforest Building, Ozzy likes to nimbly climb and flip around his habitat’s canopy.

Totally cool descriptions of how we can be different and the same. Cheerful illustrations and a very non-didactic message of embracing each of us as we are. The illustrations are filled with diversity and charm. Great storytime choice.

Sickening words and ideas. A deeply disturbing but very important read. I think Canadians need to realize that our country also includes this kind of organized white nationalism and hate, and that we need to be doing all we can to work against it.

Don't fund fascism.
Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The reason that people are poor is that they do not have money. That's it, that's the skeet.

I’m just a Canadian, looking at her fellow Canadians, begging them to connect the dots between rising anti immigrant sentiment and what is happening in the states.

The new gnome is welcomed by the residents of The Pocket, who are so thrilled to share their world with Grolly Maru. The book is expertly paced, as they are introduced to sounds (and quiets), friends, foods, and more. The flowing pen and ink drawings burst with nature and emotion.

This picture book biography of the poet Mary Oliver gives a glimpse into her development as a poet- love of nature, words, and solitude. It’s a good introduction, hinting at her poetry but never using the actual poems. Useful jumping off point for poetry studies.

What a beautiful book, in so many ways. Beautiful that whales allowed a free-diving human into their world, and that the author & illustrator were able to make this true story into a book. Information and documentation included that teachers will be excited to share.

What a cool teacher Ms. Lee is! In her class, the students track the migration of veeries, learning about the birds while listening to audio and using their imaginations. The illustrations are filled with movement and light. This is an excellent classroom read!

A young Indigenous boy has so many questions, anxieties that keep him awake at night. His mother answers, & helps him sleep. When his grandmother takes him to a march honouring residential school children, he really needs comforting. An important book for all schools & libraries.

Two beaches argue over who gets tucked in, and the moon has to explain how they have to take turns. In an imagined scenario, Pyle explains how tides work (the science is in the back matter). Add some science to storytime, or use in classrooms to discuss ocean tides and the moon.

Frank knits a red hat, a colour the penguins have never seen. When another penguin tries it on and gets eaten by a killer whale, the other penguins want nothing to do with Frank’s hats. A funny book that explores cause and effect. Could work for storytime.

Nothing new here, but it is done well. Two friends need a bit of space but realize that they can “be alone together”. Easy for those learning to read and useful for #SEL ; will also work well for storytime.

Unconditional love is shown through animal parents and communities. Each spread shares a line that reads like poetry. The illustration is soft and depicts a jungle forest of creatures. A sweetly gentle book that feels like a hug.

Kids have a lot of questions, and some adults may find them silly. Astronaut toileting, nose picking, frozen cave people, snoring, underwear. Over 200 questions answered in a cheeky yet scientific manner. A glossary, index, and subject listing make it perfect for classroom use.

Who doesn’t love a fort? In praise of outdoor forts- under trees to indoors under a blanket, poetic text explores the wonder of a fort. The illustrations are filled with nature, and even the indoor forts remind us of the great outdoors. Good storytime choice.

Little Boo is great fun, until it starts to grow up and become obnoxious. When older sib ghost trades a wolf for their little sibling, they realize that Little Boo is not so bad after all. Fun storytime choice, especially for October.
