one of the absolute best books of the year is TOO BRIGHT TO SEE by @KyleLukoff, honestly it's such a work of craft AND heart that I literally marvel. The balance between those elements, it's beyond. If you haven't read it, you need to get right on that. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634497/too-bright-to-see-by-kyle-lukoff/

Definitely am obsessed with ALL the books in the Storytelling Math series (you absolutely need them all for your library) but I'm very fond of LOOK, GRANDMA! NI, ELISI by @UpWithTheMooses, illustrated by @madiegoodnight. Can't wait to do this one in storytime. https://t.co/7g5VIP0t8J

I read IF YOU PLANT A SEED by Kadir Nelson (a perfect book) to 1st grade today and when we got to the big spread of food one shouted out with joy and surprise: "OH MY GOODNESS GRAVY! LOOK AT THAT!!" https://t.co/iNJOoJTByo

This week kindergarten's read aloud is TIME FOR KENNY by Brian Pinkney, a perfect in all ways book. They love it, of course. Today, when Kenny started doing better in soccer they spontaneously broke into applause. 😭😭 #librarylife https://t.co/yFtqNz9Brm

This GHOST SQUAD superfan yet again won her class's monthly reading contest (she read over 700 minutes and "I can count even if I'm re-reading!") meaning she got a free book from me (among other goodies) so I slipped her a WITCHLINGS ARC and she almost fainted. @Claribel_Ortega https://t.co/spbEHkkgyO

I read this TRULY incredible YA that revolves in large part around the Million Man March and I'm wondering if there are any other YA books with the MMM as a main plot point? Anyway pre-order ALL YOU HAVE TO DO by Autumn Allen, it should win the Steptoe. https://t.co/MWvA3Ve39k

@MitaliPerkins Few ever did better in telling their family's story through music than Loretta Lynn. Her song about her dad is famously COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER (1970) https://t.co/ckkQcKh202 but she wrote one for her mother too and recorded it 34 years later VAN LEAR ROSE https://t.co/bVY0bpNqHM
