- BOXER BABY BATTLES BEDTIME by @pragmaticmom.bsky.social and Kai Gietzen is my new go-to gift for baby showers and toddler birthday parties. It’s fun and funny and it really does sound like a boxing match! Even better, there’s a glossary of boxing lingo. So! Much! Fun! #boxing #figurativelanguage
- Nonfiction picture books are hard enough to write in prose, but @lindsayhmetcalf.bsky.social manages to delight and inform in RHYME! Pick up OUTDOOR FARM, INDOOR FARM as an alternative to the standard children's book about farm life and discover a whole new world, beautifully illustrated by Xin Li.
- Adorable. Cozy. Comforting. Funny. If you're looking for a book that's both hilarious and heart-warming, this is it. @abicushman.com and Charlotte Offsay create the best kind of noise in The Quiet Forest.

- THE GREAT STINK got a mention in the @washingtonpost.com! Q: My 6-year-old son loves encyclopedia-type books, such as the DK Eyewitness books. This makes bedtime reading particularly challenging for me as a fiction lover. How can I get my curious son into stories? Answer:
- GIVEAWAY! I'm giving away a copy of the fabulous field guide to fireflies, written by Lynn Faust, plus a copy of FIREFLY SONG, my picture book biography of Lynn (who discovered a synchronous species of firefly in the Smoky Mnts!). Sign up for my newsletter to be entered to win! www.colleenpaeff.com
- I wish I could send everyone who's been posting about fireflies (or lightning bugs) in their yards a copy of Lynn Frierson Faust's fabulous field guide--but there are too many of you! However, I CAN give away a copy to one of my newsletter subscribers. Sign up by 7/15 to enter! www.colleenpaeff.com
- When I have an idea for a book, if it doesn't have four specific qualities, it's probably not a good fit for a picture book. Find out what those qualities are in this interview!
- High praise for FIREFLY SONG! Thanks for spreading the word, Simon! 💚

- Congratulations to STEAM Team member Liz Tracy on her debut picture book! MYSTERY DRIVER (illustrated by Anna Aronson) tells the story of how Alice Johnson placed in the very first soap box derby race (even though it was just for boys). 🏁 @drliztracy.bsky.social drliztracy.com/books/myster...

- I love Vicky Fang's interactive A to Z book, ALPHABOT! It's so much more than an alphabet book! Highly recommended for young robot fans, grown-up luddites, and everyone in between! Build robots and learn stuff! #robots #creativity #STEM #STEAM #robotics #CSed bookshop.org/p/books/alph...
