Favorite photo came up in today’s memories, from when Mom asked the plumber if he’d do one more task before leaving

Happy Exploding Whale Day!
jlkavanaugh.bsky.social Dr. Jeffrey Kavanaugh 🇨🇦 @jlkavanaugh.bsky.social · Nov 12
55 years ago today, the Oregon State Highway Division had a whale of a problem on its hands. How it solved it is the stuff of legends.

In other words: Happy Exploding Whale Day!

Houston's Book Fairy Brigade is
desperately in need of Spanish books, as well as middle grade novels and board books.

Every free book put into the hands of a child is an act of resistance AND joy.

Books feed the soul, fuel dreams, and offer hope.

Latest newsletter, with updates about the next book, which will be out on Tuesday!
preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...
Newsletter screenshot: Turquoise banner that looks like torn paper across the top reads, “News from Lynne Kelly.” Below that is the cover of Three Blue Hearts, which has an ocean scene in shades of purple, a blue octopus in the middle, & the silhouette of a boy reaching up to it. Text beneath that reads, “Three Blue Hearts is one week away! The next book is almost here! Three Blue Hearts has been in the works for many years, and it’ll finally be in the world on October 7th. I’ll be visiting schools in Omaha, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, & Philadelphia next week, & in Houston on the 20th. I’m looking forward to chatting with readers about writing & fascinating animals. And I’m so happy to see some lovely reviews coming in— see some highlights below!”
