pickYuriko decided it is time to change her name and leave her Japanese American identity behind when the kids at school make fun of her. Dad decides it‘s time to take his new daughter around to also of their favorite spots. I enjoyed this picture book and loved the gentle way dad supports Yuriko. I used this for my tree on cover prompt in #RushathonChristmasBingo. #Picturebook #Inclusivity
Dark chocolate all the way. I never liked white chocolate, and I don't have much of a taste for milk chocolate anymore.
Mounds is a favorite chocolate Halloween treat, followed closely by raisinets

pickI think that all 3 of my kids have read & loved this book (my oldest is 19). My 8 year old still thinks this is the best story. Poor Oscar the wiener dog just wants to have a spooky Halloween costume but instead he‘s a “wiener-dog.” #scarathon #BatBrigade
I scored points at a trivia game at work today for knowing the name of this "classic children‘s book that shares the name of a fall flower."
Got extra points because I knew Kevin Henkes wrote it. ?
I am alll about the children‘s lit, my friends!
pickAn older story with a message still relevant today. Kids should be able to play with whatever toys they wants. Toys shouldn‘t be gendered. Girls can play with skateboards, and boys can play with dolls. A boy who learns how to care for a doll is preparing for being a father. ❤️
