Ten days in, have made word count every day for #Nanowrimo2023 and now my brain is itchy. I can hear the vibrating of the universe. I can see shrimp colors.

For the new year, give kids tools to help them understand themselves and their world. These books are a great start! bit.ly/3TAsToT Aruna Rangarajan @janeyolen Ariel Stemple John Ledda @zooperdooperkid Glenys Nellist: Children's Author
