π«ΆπΌ π Salmon Run π π«ΆπΌ by Annie Chen
Watercolors transport the reader to a water world,
revealing the salmon's lifecycle. So simple, so elegant.
It's enough to learn one beautiful thing about the world. π
πππΌ @anniechenwrites.bsky.social @redcometpressbooks.bsky.social
πππ Delightfully peculiar stories.
Marvelous illustrations. πππ
Little dips in the quiet life
of Gram, Gramps, and... a skeleton.

πππΌ Yay Yonder/Restless books for bringing
such a beautiful read out in translation.
β¨The magical mind of @carolynfisher.bsky.social
has turned measuring (& its arbitrary conventions)
into delight and play.β¨
π So freakin' clever. π¦
Plus, AWESOME backmatter:
There IS a 1 cm species of centipede! (I was skeptical.)
And I love donkey power! (Units!)

Marvelous drawings of a traffic jam
and that rain-heavy sky
and so many looking away,
as a kitten crosses traffic.
But someone...
_screeech!_
A meditation
a provocation
a call to be late...
just in time.
I kept thinking,
"We're all this kitten."
