I was glad to find out that zoos are involved in conservation and preservation efforts on behalf of these little guys! Yay!🎉🎉

Cue the cuteness!🥰

So...my little obsession with the lesser panda may have started in Vienna, but it didn't end there! 😂 That's when I learned that RED PANDAS are on the list of endangered species, mostly due to loss of habitat.

#kidlit community - I recently saw a ~11 y/o child in my clinic who, because of family chaos & instability, said she had 'no' happy memories. Not that a book will fix any/every thing, but is there a book you would recommend she read (to give her a sense of hope for her future)?

Did you know the oldest zoo in the world is in VIENNA?! It's a gorgeous zoo, and exists as part of the immaculate Schönbrunn Palace palace gardens. Definitely worth the trip!

It was my first time seeing a red panda IRL (which they called the 'lesser panda') and black-headed sheep!

April is child abuse awareness month. What survivors hear:

'You're stronger now because of the abuse.'

'I bet your abusers were abused too.'

'Now you can help others who were abused.'

What they need to hear:

'That was not supposed to happen. Are you ok?'

For us, it started in San Diego! While attending a conference for work, there was still time to bask in the sun at the beach on a balmy day - and then visit the legendary San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. There were smiles & giggles, shrieks of delight and wide-eyes at all of the amazing animals.❤️

We've had a wonderful day with our amazing authors! Join us tomorrow in Booth #1514 for some more fun! Tee Moore is revising this dang novel. AGAIN. Sophia Ezomoghene Public Library Association

Less than a year after opening, Liberation Station Bookstore — NC's 1st Black-owned children's bookstore — is having to MOVE OUT of downtown Raleigh after the owner says they've received 'numerous threats.'

I can’t believe I get to announce this! I am beyond excited to be able to share my author-illustrator debut, AT THE COOKOUT ☀️ It was inspired by my own family’s cookouts and all the fun times we’ve had.

Happy book birthday to NOTHING, NOT PERFECT, and NOT A SMILEY GUY! All of these wonderful #picturebooks are on shelves today!
