Trying out a #homeschoolreadsthursday starting with books about the periodic table! We have been learning about the scientists that helped build and create what we now know as the Periodic Table of Elements. Did you know that the elements follow a specific pattern much like music notes? Dmitri Mendeleev was able to even leave room in the table for future elements later discovered after his death. We will be spending the next few weeks going over the different groups and how the table is arranged.

WOOT! Song of a Blackbird is a finalist for the ONLY national book award decided by teens! This is massively important to me, as I love speaking to teens and young adults about our history, and about the courageous acts by teens and young adults during ww2!

So if you have book-loving teens in your life, please ask them to vote for their favorite book! Blackbird is nominated in the Young Adult Unique Format category along with four other exceptional books by Maggie Stiefvater, John Geen, Taylor Robin and my pal @EugeneYelchin (whose book I loved). It’s astonishing to be listed among these greats. And uplifting to be part of such an initiative to get teens to read and to vote on books!

The great @uyenloseordraw is one of the best artists in comics. You can get an insight into why in this clip from our recent conversation on SKTCHD where she talks about a single page from her recent graphic novel, As I Dream of You, and what bringing an environment to life means for the story and its characters.

You can read the full interview over on SKTCHD.

We love this series, and it’s great for upper elementary and middle school learning.

This upcoming book in the 30+ book series is really interesting! It explains the science behind wildfires, how they can spread as well as different types of fires. Learn strategies for fire management as well as why fires can be fed easily by our current environment. It’s releasing in March 2027, but I’ve got my eye on it already! Thanks @netgalley and @01firstsecond for the digital ARC!

My son prefers graphic novels so of course I have to be on the lookout for new ones. These are the latest he has gravitated to plus a couple that my girls have enjoyed.

𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐃: 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃! by Neill Cameron
(Available now!)

Ever wondered what donuts get up to when they're not being eaten? No, because that would be silly! But it turns out, donuts have BIG PLANS FOR WORLD DOMINATION!!! Perfect for fans of InvestiGators, Dog Man, and Max Meow!

Meet Sprinkles, the leader of the squad; Jammyboi, who spreads stickiness EVERYWHERE; Dadnut and Lil' Timmy, who explain obscure facts, and Spronky, who is bizarrely unconventional! But don't mention the arch-nemeses of the donuts… the bagels, who are secretly plotting Donut Squad's doom!

In this explosive new series from the UK, pastry has never been more exciting. As the sweet team invades the US, they are sure to be up there with the gold standard titles of the blazing hot middle grade graphic novel genre.

Yearly read for #BannedBooksWeek. Something different happened this year, I actually cried. It’s funny huh how we see different things with each re-read 😭

Swipe for some panels and the leaves story.

I love this black and white art so so much. You can stare at a single page, and when you come back next time, you will see something new you didn’t spot the first time. Look at the leaves

These leaves that I pressed into the book are probably from 2019 when I first read it. Some of them are gone now, but I keep holding onto them in the same book
