Librarians, parents, teachers! You’ll be swamped with Wicked book requests. BUT the 📖 is very different from the📽️ & contains mature content unsuitable for kids ⚠️So here are some kid-friendly, witchy recs to go with their fave songs. Why not put on a wickedly cool shelf? 👀✨👇🏽

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.
Who’s with me?

At the suggestion of @jessicavitalis.bsky.social (thanks Jessica!) I turned my fairly popular old Twitter list, Kidlit Creators, into a Blue Sky starter pack! There you'll find #kidlit writers and artists you know and love--and others you really should get to know.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.
So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.
Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

I've recommended it before but I'll do so again:
If you have stains (particularly oil based) on a garment and you've washed & dried it and tried stain removers and it's still there:
Put Dawn blue dish detergent on it and throw it in the wash
That stuff has taken out so many laundry stains!
