My February reading included more noteworthy 4 and 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews I shared on Goodreads (mostly 5 stars) for 20 books! This Goodreads screenshot shows I’ve read 40 books (it should be 39) nineteen in January but I’m not sure what happened.
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
14 picture books
1 middle grade
1 young adult
4 adult
Please feel free to check out my reviews on Goodreads and share this post. I’m going to share it on my other social media. If you have read any of these books or know the authors or illustrators, you are welcome to share with them too. Thanks for reading. 📚
I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

Oh wow! Thank you, Jilanne. 🥰 I’m looking forward to seeing you on Storytime Sprint tonight!!! Happy Book Birthday! 🎂 🌊💙 Your book will be one of my March books!
Your book is magnificent! And you are a wonderful presenter. I’ll be posting a review soon. I tried to bring Charlie up to the camera but I’m not sure if you could see him. He had a spa day today and he’s exhausted.
Thank you so much!! I did see you! From what I could tell, it looked like you might be wrestling with Charlie, LOL. I thought maybe he was trying to crawl into your lap! Spa days are definitely exhausting for dogs. When we give ours a bath, she goes a little haywire for a few minutes afterward running around the house and then sleeps the rest of the day. ❤️
