#BookedInTime ancient Ireland March 2024
@cuilin @dabbe
I enjoyed some traditional Irish fairy tales for this month's pick. #kidlit
#MiddlegradeMarch
My favorite book of the week is The Lost Year. I wonder if I can find anything to top it by the end of the month.

This electrifying picture book biography of Queen Harish, a Rajasthani drag performer, is told in verse by Jyoti Rajan Gopal. The illustrations by Svabhu Kholi are gorgeous. The message—follow your dreams and you will be rewarded—is inspiring. It was awarded a Stonewall Honor by the American Library Association and has earned many starred reviews. What else do you need to know? #LGBTQ #kidlit

Two babies are born in the same hospital on the same night. One was supposed to die but didn‘t. In this fast-paced middle grade graphic novel set during the month of the hungry ghosts, two children try to outwit the forces of death. Chinese Australian artist Remy Lai has an appealing cartoony style and has created a complex fantasy world with wonderful characters and lots of humour. #ozfiction #kidlit #comics
#kidlit for the win! They closed my library so I could sub for a first grade teacher. She wanted a math lesson where the kids could write math phrases about a picture, but she was sick and her plans were incomplete. Thank dog I have all the books! I may be the only one who checks out the Anno books. I imagine the next librarian will weed them.
I absolutely adore this all-ages graphic novel about a sheep who crafts a wolf costume in order to conquer his fears. But living in disguise is no picnic either. Bellwether finally has the courage to be himself, and the final scene, where he opens his window curtain to let the light in, makes me tear up a little every time. Nonbinary illustrator Sid Sharp has used rich deep colours to whimsical effect. #Queer #CanLit #kidlit #comics

A funny informative science book for young children about a mammalian body part that isn‘t often discussed at this age. Bright stencil artwork & witty puns keep the tone light while conveying simple biological facts. I was pleased to note that gender isn‘t mentioned at all. The topic expands to historic representation of boobies in art & mountains named for breasts before ending on a celebratory note. #Canadian #kidlit
The negative consequences of unsustainable progress are explored in this picture book fable about being content with a simple life. These issues as well as the final decision by Bear—and what will Fox do next?—are great discussion starters with kids. Miriam Körner‘s amazing diorama illustrations are also worth careful attention. #Canadian #kidlit
