Just finished the 2nd in the Link + Hud series by @wjpumphrey @jpumphrey Love the mixed format & happy hijinks the boys seem to get into. But even w/the mishaps, the 2 always seem to turn mistakes into something positive. Humorous & highly recommended for ages 7-11. @wwnorton

Another great author visit using @BookBreak4Schls - and today’s authors @wjpumphrey & @jpumphrey were from TX! Directed drawings from illustrators have been such a cool experience for these kinders & check out their chickens 🐓 🤍 @NISDMcDermott

Today’s @BookBreak4Schls visit with Jarrett & @wjpumphrey was a hit with readers. As a paper crafter who stamps, I have to admit I was fascinated to hear about how they create their art. Second graders loved the chicken draw along! #kidlit #schoollibrary

At the Newbery-Caldecott-Legacy Awards Banquet at #ALAAC24, Caldecott committee member @MariaPazAlegre went all out, creating bracelets for the awardees featuring their books covers! 😍😍
What a beautiful keepsake for the creators of some truly beautiful books.

And so, thanks to #librarians & #educators from across the country, the curators of the pillars of our communities and neighborhoods, and many of the #ShiningStars in the world of #ChildrensLiterature, little ones nationwide will now remember the #light that shines within them and the #value they bring to our world. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻🌟👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿
A heartfelt #ThankYou to our #friends & #neighbors in the #KidLit community, both new & old, who helped us kick off PR From The Heart's 10-year anniversary celebration at #ALAAC24 this past weekend at the @SDConventionCtr. 💜
