The cover for the upcoming picture book, Prayer Is, written by Tameka Fryer-Brown and illustrated by Alleanna Harris. The cover features a young Black girl wearing bubble braids and a light orange dress, eyed closed and silently praying. The background features soft stained glass-like colors.

What to watch this weekend?

In light of the admin's EO to erase the truth about U.S. history in museums, historic sites, monuments, & the zoo -- we recommend "The Neutral Ground" by C. J. Hunt on the fight over Confederate monuments & the Lost Cause narrative.

I'm more than fasting. I'm cutting it out altogether.

"Grimes’ simple, lyrical text depicts a sweet, relationship-based mini-adventure with a victory both adults and children will appreciate. [Cathy Ann] Johnson’s whimsical illustrations... are as poetic as Grimes’ verse. Playful, soothing, and beautiful. (Picture book. 3-8)" Thanks, Kirkus!

I heard today is National #Shelfie Day. For no particular reason at all, my shelfie includes a copy of Little People, Big Dreams' Anne Frank & That Flag by @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social. Also for no particular reason at all, my t-shirt reads "E Pluribus Unum, #ProtectTransKids."
