I hope ROUND AND ROUND THE YEAR WE GO feels like a set of classroom decorations—bright, unraveling carpet squares and the jaunty iconography of circle time calendars. So! These print on regular old 8.5 x 11 paper or Avery labels 80505 and 4785.☀🌷❄🍂 carterhiggins.com/resources

SAVE THE DATES!!!
This August we are looking forward to a month of super duper talented illustrators. Tune in to hear from some of the most amazing folks in kidlit by joining me for Gab ‘n’ Doodle on insta.

Have some earbuds? Listen to this conversation between me and @MatthewWinner—the oldest of library pals! We cover the language of storytime, legendary mice in children's literature, and why I've been so hesitant to call myself an illustrator. matthewcwinner.com/post/acts…
A steal! This book is my current fave of my shelf—it’s funny and excruciatingly authentic! 🐸🎧

Had so much fun adding @CarterHiggins Some of these are Snails and Circle Under Berry along with @BCarzoo Greenlight books to my shape and color unit. ❤️📚

SOME OF THESE ARE SNAILS by Carter Higgins nails what kids are into, from the obsession with snails to sorting. Plus, the lyricism! Here's Carter on her artwork, forthcoming books she's excited about + what she would put in her 100 best picture books list. tinyurl.com/4rmw2nu9
I'm dazzled and honored that SOME OF THESE ARE SNAILS was accepted into The Original Art 2023 at @SOI128! Whale-sized appreciation for my friends at @chroniclekids (and the jury!) for recognizing that even our youngest readers deserve excellent art. A thrill! 🐢🐌🟨⭕
