New blog! "The Unlikely Origin of a Book about Gratitude and Delight" by @sharigreen.bsky.social
"I sat down to write a joyful little post about savouring the simple pleasures in life, but instead, I’m drawn to share the very personal origin story of Savor the Day."

Back in the #HaikuSaturday saddle again, kiddos…
A darting shadow—
not damsel in distress, but
jewel in the crown.
This Ebony Jewelwing is a species of broad-winged damselflies and a true princess in black!

A new #picturebook from @troystory.bsky.social & illustrated by Mike Deas (from @orcabook.bsky.social) may have some fun word play but there's lots for young readers to think about when it comes to friendship. STILL FRIENDS released last week. canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2026/05/stil...
Tom strode to the plate with aplomb
After lessons from baseball dot com
But kept missing the ball
Couldn't hit it at all
Feathers flew in a tizzy--poor Tom!
