Happy National School Librarian Day! School librarians open doors, lift up the curtains, build bridges, advocate, inspire…They kickstart a love of reading, they see you, they love you. ❤️📚 #books #kidlit

For over 25 years I’ve visited schools across America and around the world. 100s of schools and more kids than I can count. These cards, these letters, this art of giraffes, sea turtles, “King Steve” never, ever gets old. #schoolvisits #SchoolLibraryMonth #books #kidlit #library

Hey friends, here’s some fun book news this week. There’s now a Taiwanese edition of Giraffe Math! #kidlit ⁦Little, Brown Young Readers⁩ #giraffemath ⁦Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF)⁩ #STEM #STEAM #nonfiction #NF4kids #christyottavianobooks #geraldovalerio

I miss photographer-biologist, Lou Guillette, who studied alligators and crocodiles for more than 30 years and loved to photograph them. “Being a scientist is the four best jobs on Earth. You’re a detective, adventurer, an artist and storyteller,” Lou said. Liz Bonnin 💙 #scientist

Yay! GIRAFFE MATH is on the 2024-2025 HORNED TOAD TALES list selected by the librarians of the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in Houston, Texas. THANK YOU! May the giraffes be with you!

Hi librarian/teacher friends. Looking for an author visit this spring?

I’ve got days available in May and June.

And, in April I’ll be in Florida so if you’re nearby, let me know.

Steve Swinburne, author of Sea Turtle Scientist, did a fantastic job engaging and entertaining our children. Ask your child what they learned about sea turtles today! Lexington District Two steveswinburne.com/sea-turtle-sci…

Great morning with a zillion kids at Riverbank Elementary in West Columbia SC. I loved the diversity of this school, where they speak over 16 languages! #schoolvisit #authorvisit #kidlit Lexington County School District One Lexington District Two

San Antonio schools in the NEISD know how to welcome an author. Thanks Lisa Barnes and Vineyard Ranch for a great two days! @vineyardranchneisd @neisdlibrary North East ISD #NEISDlibs #authorvisits #kidlit #schoolvisits
