“Draw Milan.”
Leonardo da Vinci's to-do list: Measure Milan, get a math master to reveal the secret of squaring a triangle, and quiz a Florentine merchant on the mysteries of Flemish ice walking. And that's only the beginning. Meanwhile, I'm over here googling how to fold a fitted sheet.

Real talk, parents: the minute we start banning books, we’ve lost. How can our kids possibly look to us to be the source of courage if we’re afraid of children’s books? 😅 We need to be the person our kids can come and talk to about ANYTHING. #FinallySeen #OutIn7Days @SimonKIDS

It was an honor to meet the Brown Scholars from @CentreC and @uofl this afternoon! As a graduate of both institutions, I may be a little biased, but they were pretty amazing. I look forward to their continued leadership in the commonwealth!

This poster of mine is making the rounds online again, so I thought I’d remind you that you can download it for FREE at the Art page of my website: jarrettlerner.com/art I’ve got a bundle of new posters I’ll be adding to that page in the coming weeks. Now go read to some kids!

Hi friends! Please check out my blog post about sketching to invent a middle grade graphic novel character, and letting that character get out of control. Lots of behind-the-scenes drawings, and an inspiring pull-quote! 📚✏️😺 rachelelliott.me/2022/10/19/…

4th grade @McNeillAdmirals learn from Eastern Kentucky native, Tina Cantrell, about the vibrant culture of Appalachia and the recent flooding disaster. @katinaminer and Tina discuss how Kentucky Legal Aid helps serve families impacted by disasters, such as tornadoes and flooding.
