Today I am thankful for librarians - school, public, academic, special, assistants, paras, and library workers of all types - for all you do for your communities! You are patient, kind, knowledgeable, and generous to everyone who enters your libraries. Take a moment today to thank a librarian! 📙🍁

Melissa Sweet's BALLOONS OVER BROADWAY is a fascinating look into the Macy's parade. I love her illustration style so much! #kidlit 📚👍 Happy Thanksgiving!
cover of BALLOONS OVER BROADWAY shows an illustration of a man holding a parade balloon by its strings; there's a crowd in the background holding regular balloons in front of tall buildings

Turkey writers.

#DebbieOhiComics #Thanksgiving
Comic showing a turkey typing on a laptop. He says "Dangit! I'm going to finish this novel if it's the last thing I do." One of two turkeys in the background says, "Well, you have until this weekend, anyway." The other whispers to him, "Shh, I haven't told him about that yet." The turkey writer says, "Huh? Why? What's happening this weekend?" Comic by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social
