"SO much to love about this book...Patricia Newman pulls the reader into a fascinating world of elephant communication. I found myself really relating to the elephants...feeling joy at their reunions, and grief over their losses.❤️" - 🥰 @elisaboxer.bsky.social 🥰 🐘 bit.ly/2FyDEAq #edusky #greensky

The 1st review of SEVEN, A MOST REMARKABLE PIGEON is out! And Kirkus gets exactly what I want kids to--that there is joy in differentness. That it should be celebrated. SEVEN: "An uplifting tale that celebrates difference." Thank you Kirkus! @candlewickpress.bsky.social #kidlit #picturebooks

"Dynamic duos like Marshall's George and Martha or Lobel's Frog and Toad are mainstays in children's literature... Little Fish and Big Bear are another great combination." Such a nice review. Thanks so much YA Books Central! #kidlit @lernerbooks.bsky.social
