Happy Book Birthday to The Picasso Curse by Dan Gutman!! What happens when a middle schooler accidentally discovers a doodle by Pablo Picasso? A crazy tale of fame, fortune, and hard decisions. And Cleopatra's Needle is out in paperback. #middlegrade #mgreads

The Peacock Who Howled with Jackals by Naheid Kazemi (Owlkids) #picturebook inspired by a fable from the Persian poet Rumi. TBH a really fresh take on animal allegory for identity and marginalization. I love this peacock and family of jackals #ALAAC2025 bookshop.org/p/books/the-pea…
