tl;dr 🦇🐈‍⬛🫶🏼🦋🌻 •• I don’t want to be too specific but... do you know that feeling when you read a sweet yet slightly spooky children’s book and it instantly makes you want to tag all of your hocus pocus x practical magic x sisterhood of the traveling pants loving parent friends slash mom buddies slash ig friends who you’ve been sharing halloween memes to since april thru september knowing they (like you) have been waiting for target to stock creepy spooky scary cute items for months now (👀👀 you know who you are right) and who also have kids of similar ages that just might be learning about empathy & about how to appreciate the differences in their classmates or close friends (or siblings or sisters but especially and definitely sisters) —- that feeling? 🤪 #crapnapreads well, that’s how I feel about this new book “Beatrice Likes the Dark” g ifted from @AlgonquinYR; written by @apriltucholke; & illustrated by @Khoa.Le.Artwork which the girls and I have read over and over again despite our Halloween shelfie not being up yet (but soon!) and especially despite the copious use of spiders in the illustrations (naturally leading to the girls badgering me with comments like - did you see that one and that one and that one, bc yes I did 🙈) and YET I really still love this story about two sisters who are so different (think black cats and spiders and bats & balloons and butterflies) who find ways to love each other 😭😭😭😭. pps. 👀👀👀👀 you know who you are right? #diversereads #bookstagram #aapiillustrators #diversitymatters #antiracistreading #becauseofreading #booksbooksbooks #bookwormlife #goodreads #littlebookworm #welovebooks #readingismagic #kidsbookswelove #kidskit #kidsbookstagram #bookstagrammer #targetdoesitagain #halloweendecor https://liketk.it/3PhQ3 #halloweentable
