Spider in the Well | Jess Hannigan

Pickpick

If you‘re looking for something along the lines of Jon Klassen‘s picture books, try this dark & funny fable by Canadian artist Jess Hannigan. It‘s great for kids aged 3-8 anytime, but the black & fluorescent orange colour scheme, plus the spider, make this perfect for a spooky October read. #kidlit

Sisters of the Neversea | Cynthia L. Smith

I love this middle grade Peter Pan retelling by Muscogee Creek author Cynthia Leitich Smith. It focuses on two stepsisters & addresses racism straightforwardly in the text. Wendy & Lily immediately speak up when Peter or the Lost boys use the word ‘Injun,‘ for example. On many occasions the omniscient narrator breaks the fourth wall & addresses readers directly—I like that too. A fun read with satisfying depth. #Indigenous #kidlit

Lindy Cover art is by the late (great!) Muscogee artist Floyd Cooper (1956-2021). (edited) 1mo
Cuilin Do I need another Peter Pan retelling? No. Stacking anyway. 🧚 1mo
Lindy @Cuilin It‘s a treat. Belle (Tinkerbell) gets interesting backstory and character development, just to mention one thing. 🧚 1mo

I am impressed by this contemporary story about the aftermath of the residential school system. It‘s gentle, yet packs a powerful amount into 99 pages. Suitable for ages 10-14.
