Dave adores disco! The clothes, the music, and especially the dances! There’s just one problem…he’s not a great dancer! Should he give up? Let his disco dreams die? Or maybe he can find a different way to boogie down! #MaginationPress #YanaKozak #KidLit #PictureBook #GrowthMindset #Teachers
The #FirstDayofSchool may be 4-6 weeks away yet, but Busy Bus and Engine 4 are here to help make the transition easier! #Teachers #Librarians #PictureBook #Emotions #KidLit #WritingCommunity #BeachLane #Vehicles #CommunityHelpers #ClaireMesser @simonandschuster.bsky.social

I'm so grateful to connect with Kansas City-area kids through Church of the Resurrection's great Partner Schools ministry. All 85 fourth graders at this school went home with a free, signed copy of Creep, Leap, Crunch! A Food Chain Story. ❤️ @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @csneal.bsky.social
