Cover of Nimblewitlit Magazine Issue 2: Trustworthy Nimblewitlit logo of pink cartoon brain hanging upside down and holding a lightbulb Full text of poem The Trust-o-meter: I built a Trust-o-Meter from cardboard and tape. It measures how trustworthy I am in excellent shape. It rises when I tell the truth about who ate the pie. (It was me. I was hungry. Better honest than sly.) It jumps when I return things the way they were lent. My friend said "You gave it back perfect. That is rare. That is meant." It dips just a little when I forget what I said, like promising to feed the hamster then going to bed. But it bounces back quickly when I fix my mistake. Trust grows again every time you choose to remake. My Trust-o-Meter is silly but it taught me one thing being trustworthy grows stronger with every choice that you bring. And the funny part is everyone has one inside. You cannot see it or touch it but you feel it with pride.

Issue 2 Spotlight:

Check out this gorgeous #Art by Lia Filart Dublin, age 13.

Called “Hand in Hand,” we selected it for the cover of this issue

(Tagging @gretchenfilart.bsky.social, Lia’s mom)
An illustration showing a person with dark hair and a white dress, gently wiping away a tear from one eye with their hand. The lower half of the image shows them standing on a large, blue and green Earth. Around the equator of the Earth, a row of colorful human figures in pink, light blue, teal, purple, and green are holding hands, the with a big, glowing pink heart at the center above their linked hands. The background is dark blue, with scattered, faint white stars. The overall mood is one of emotional tenderness, global unity, and hope.

Be like me and get a free review copy of @rweberwrites.bsky.social’s book Loophole! #KidLit #OCD #BookSky
Image of a newspaper titled “Harper Lee Happenings” on the left and the cover of “Loophole” by Rebecca Weber on the right. Text of Harper Lee Happenings: Maybelline "Maybe" Rood has stuck to a strict set of rules since Mama left five years ago: neatness matters, avoid boys at all costs and absolutely no talking aloud. She's convinced by being good she will coax Mama back into her life. When her therapist suggests she confront her anxiety and OCD, Maybe must do the unthinkable: enter sixth grade at a public middle school. Maybe meets a sith grade boy named Oliver and, after a rocky start. breaks one of her rules when they become friends. But then she discovers her safe haven and last remaining link to Mama, the Salem Public Library, is scheduled to close for good. Maybe pledges to save the library with Oliver's help, but is she brave enough to go through with their ambitious plan and possibly lose Mama forever? She can either obey her anxiety's repetitive demands or use her long-lost voice to finally make a diflerence.
