Cover of The princess in black and the prince in pink by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale, and LeUyen Pham. It shows a young girl in black mask and superhero outfit dancing with a young boy in pink mask and pink hero outfit. Bands of words stripe the cover, saying "all kids have a right to exist" and "please let's show love for all kinds of kids"

Creatures buried in soil for over a century burst back to life in Toronto waterfront A project to restore coastal wetland leads to astonishing discoveries of a host of life: seeds and plant scraps, as well as water fleas, worms, larvae and plankton

An amazing story highlighting nature’s resilience. It was so exciting when 100+ year old seeds started growing as part of this wetland restoration. Now scientists have discovered historic fauna too.
