Did not think i would ever sit down and write reviews for cartoons but here I am🤣 and tbf, these were absolutely worth it! We also have some rules around screen time which i think helps with the calmness.. for eg: - no screen time on iPads or phones. this means mum and dad dont watch videos on our phones as well. - if we have screen time, im sitting down as well doing work on my laptop unless im cooking or cleaning. thats how i know so much about all of them 😂 but also, i think this shared experience is pretty special. plus whenever a real life experience mirrors the shows we watch, i bring them up and my bub can connect the dots and relate - when we introduce a new show, especially the first few times, we stick to the same show for a few months. these days, since there’s a plethora of options, we just ask and put on whatever our toddler wants to watch. Anyway, if you have a go-to calm cartoon, drop it in the comments!

"Many adults never had the opportunity to go to school because they were busy digging coal, lumbering, or farming during the day," Richardson said. "These Moonlight Schools offered a tool to tamp down poverty, stand up to big companies, vote, and more. This is the power of books." My Kentucky Moonlight School 🌙📚 written by Kim Michele Richardson illustrated by Chloe M. Giroux ★Library of Congress Nat'l Book Festival ★JLG Selection "Jewel & her grandparents set off through the moonlit hills for graduation night, where adults from all walks of life attend to learn. This delightful picture book is based on the early twentieth century’s real-life Moonlight Schools, pairing engaging, authentic text with vibrant, energetic artwork to craft a heartfelt & timely reminder of the power of education to connect & change lives." ★"The text brilliantly captures the rich flavor of early twentieth-century Appalachia, as well as details about how the Moonlight Schools helped Kentuckians. The fluid, ink-lined illustrations are simple yet rich, evoking the historical setting with period details & effectively juxtaposing light & darkness… This gem of a book sparkles like moonlight itself." -Booklist ★"Richardson brings a solid sensibility to the Appalachian dialect that lends regional texture. The emotional beats are earnest… Giroux['s] night scenes have an atmospheric sweep… Brings light to a little-known piece of history." -Kirkus ★"The detailed illustrations convey emotion with nuance & reinforce the story’s historical atmosphere through vivid, carefully rendered scenes. Striking artwork elevates a ­historically rich story." -SLJ ★"Young Jewel’s point of view exudes passion, excitement, and focus on dreams for herself, family, and those in her community" -Northern Kentucky Tribune ★"…a gentle, familiar cadence, the kind that echoes the way our elders spoke when sharing history… sharing it with my own little ones felt like passing a lantern from one generation to the next…" -Reading Adventures ★"This book is such a mood. The illustrations, along with the mysterious moonlight mood, really made me feel like this was such a sacred undertaking." -Lisa Davidson, Goodreads

It’s #bannedbooksweek and it is staggering that in a country facing severe real-world challenges from gun violence to predatory health insurance practices to 1 in 3 women getting SA’d the main policy push for some continues to be removing books from local libraries and classrooms. 🤯 Instead of addressing corporate greed or passing meaningful safety laws, self-appointed censors are prioritizing the restriction of children’s picture books, middle-grade stories, and young adult literature. Here are a few real books that have faced challenges and removal pushes across the US: Tango Makes Three — A picture book based on the true story of two male penguins in the Central Park Zoo who raised a chick together. It continues to be targeted over its LGBTQ+ themes.  Everywhere Babies — A board book for toddlers celebrating babies and their care, targeted simply for depicting various family structures in its background illustrations. New Kid — A Newbery Medal-winning graphic novel about a 12-year-old Black kid navigating a prestigious, predominantly white private school, challenged under broad political bans on “critical race theory”.  The Perks of Being a Wallflower — A classic young adult novel exploring adolescence, mental health, and trauma, which regularly tops the American Library Association’s most challenged lists.  Real safety means protecting people NOT restricting access to ideas, stories and empathy. In fact, maybe we wouldn’t be living in current wacky times if people had more access to books instead of some of the other things we have too much access to. #readbannedbooks #bookbans #readersgonnaread stopgenocide

A childhood favorite, a nostalgic read, and a story that I’ve always found so wonderfully imaginative… 📚✨🌿 Where the Wild Things Are is one of those books that seems to bring out very different feelings in readers. I was actually surprised to recently learn just how controversial this story has been since it was first published — from the Wild Things themselves, to the storyline, to Max’s behavior and his famous “I’ll eat you up” moment. 😳 And honestly, I’m curious! Do you love this book? Was it a childhood favorite? Or is it one you’ve never really cared for? For me, I’ve always viewed it as a harmless little adventure into a child’s imagination — a story about wonder, big feelings, and how our minds can be a gateway to entirely different worlds. 🌙✨ And I think books like this are part of what makes childhood reading so magical. But I truly respect that everyone can experience a story differently. So tell me your take! Love it, dislike it, or somewhere in between? I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts! 💭📖 #bookstagram #wherethewildthingsare #childrensbooks #nostalgicreads #bookish @harpercollins
