I'm kind of annoyed that I didn't get approved to read the Arnold Lobel picture book biography coming out next week. But at least I can read it next week and we'll have four copies in the store.

Appreciated hearing from someone that Louder than Hunger by @mrschureads.bsky.social really helped the young reader- and their entire family- be able to discuss a serious topic. Hopefully, it's just the start of more conversations to help them deal with it. bookshop.org/a/6720/97815...

The highlight of being a bookseller this week was getting to reunite a kid with her bunny stuffie. I noticed they had left it at the store. I'd overheard the mom saying they were going to the co-op next. After wandering down the wrong aisles, I found them and gave the girl her toy. #BooksellerLife

My first read of 2025 is also my first #FilipinoReads of the year. It's the forthcoming #PictureBook New by @ninamataart.bsky.social and publishes May 6th! Enjoyable and joyous take on being the new kid in school- as well as being new in a new country- and overcoming all the challenges that entails.

Is it just me or does it seem like there's less books by Filipino authors coming out in 2025? I'd love to be wrong so please show me threads or give me links of these titles to #FilTheShelves!
