Ahhh Dear Treefrog is my FAVORITE picture book so far this year! Science! Nature! Poetry! Watercolor! Social-emotional learning! FROGS!

lrt: I struggled to find books for my first Pride as a children's librarian in 2016. Now it feels like we're overflowing. Working on this list with my fellow colleagues has been a joy.

[Ellen MacInnis @ecmacinnis]

Super excited to see this finally live! So many great books and authors to celebrate this Pride.

[NY Public Library @nypl]

This #PrideMonth, NYPL librarians recommend 100 books highlighting trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming stories. https://t.co/GxqjYL6L7j

Just got a beautiful note from a parent who visited a special program this week online. It means so much to be able to interact with our families even from a distance. They are 100% the reason I'm glad to do this work.

Gosh I have just missed professional development and going to conferences and listening to other Real Live Adults in and around my profession.

Instant inspiration getting the day started today with @SteveSheinkin @soontornvat for the opening keynote @sljournal #SLJDOD

[Ellen MacInnis @ecmacinnis]

What I remember about @soontornvat is her generosity in reaching out to send Changelings merch to me, a brand new children's librarian running a fairy-themed program in 2016. I'm so excited to listen to her speak now.

#SLJDOD opening conversation with @soontornvat and @SteveSheinkin!! Celebrities in our children's room!
