Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

I have the serendipitous timing to stumble upon a panel speaking and awareness event at the book in the historic downtown I was visiting circumstantially Wednesday! So giveaways of banned books (mostly kids and youth) to emphasize a need for greater access to diverse stories to build empathy and to expand our awareness of the people and culture out there we meet, to better understand our world, we are not all the same but not all that different.
Yesterday, Illinois Passed HB 2789 - the Right to Read Bill. This bill helps curb book banning, by saying any library that participates in this activity will not be eligible for state funding. There are only small pockets in Illinois with problems like Florida, Missouri, and Indiana, but we don't want those problems to grow, so the state is being proactive. The bill still has to go before the sent where it is expected to pass, and the governor
While we loved Little Sunflower, Little Acorn and Little Snowflake - Little Comet fell short for us. The others are quite educational as you learn about the life cycle of the sunflower, acorn and snowflake. It didn't feel that there was as much learning in this book but you do get to zoom through space as a comet and learn the planets on the way. Our three year old clearly enjoys the illustrations!

It is thanks to Schoolhouse Rock that I can recite (ok, sing) word for word, the Preamble to the Constitution 46 years after that episode (called “The Preamble”) aired. 🇺🇸

Weirdly enough, my parents ended up reading this because my mum saw it on my TBR and got it from the library. They liked it, but I didn‘t have the brain space for it, even with renewing it three times.

This book is interesting. I‘m not quite sure if it is supposed to be showing off evolution or just the life cycle of a tadpole. It could work for either. I really love the rhyming pattern and sound words like Bloop. They would be great fun at story time. However, the cadence is all over the place and causes the story to act as a tongue twister.
