My favourite festival! #kidlit

Vancouver Writers Fest @writersfest.bc.ca · Jul 28

@kirstenpendreigh.bsky.social joins the Festival with two books: What Fish Are Saying spotlights animals that live between the waves, while When a Tree Falls brings readers up close and personal with a nurse log, which is a shelter for many other living things. (Raincoast Books)

WHAT FISH ARE SAYING by @kirstenpendreigh.bsky.social is full of fabulous facts and fun to read. Katie Melrose's pictures are bright and delightful. Love this fantastic #nonfiction #kidlit for curious kids (and adults)! 📚👍

cover of WHAT FISH ARE SAYING shows various fish, coral, and clams in bright colors with a blue background; title is written in wobbly white letters as if underwater; book is in my hand with a light blue background

Dogs are Raffi. Cats are Stevie Nicks. #kidlit

Dogs are Springsteen, cats are Steely Dan
Both good just different

Cats are the Rolling Stones, Dogs are the Beatles.

On a sunny summer day we like to head up the mountain for a panoramic view ;) But we did meet a sweet toad friend.
