if you go down to the woods today
you’re in for a big surprise
no teddy bear’s picnic, I’m afraid
but creepy crawlies and flies

Be brave… have a listen poetrypea.com/s8e39-creepy...

Congrats to my friend @camelliakoo.bsky.social on her debut book Yaya and the Dan-Tats!

We all have those stories of mischief and secret snacks with our elders- this charming book full of bright illustrations is the perfect night-time giggle read!

❤️ A friend of mine's mom died in January at nearly 96. She was a lifelong artist who started at age 6. We were sorting through her sketchbooks. Everything is so vivid and alive. Thank you!

A splendid event spotlighting ten new Canadian picture books (which I now need!) and their creators. 👇🏻 @picturebookseh.bsky.social @canscaip.bsky.social organized and hosted this wonderful event. Next one is in December. #KidLit

It is the same creators according to several sources.

Rebecca Upjohn @rebeccaupjohn.bsky.social · 9d

Yes, that's where this one is.

Rebecca Upjohn @rebeccaupjohn.bsky.social · 9d

Fabulous! Is it the same sculptors, Gillie and Marc, who did this? 👇🏻
