What was your child's favorite picture book of 2023? Please share your child's age (0-5) + title + author/illustrator. @PlaySparkler hopes to (1) inspire families to read great stories & (2) feature some new favorites in our app. #picturebooks #favorites #parenting

A depressing way to start a sunny Tuesday: "...last month, national math and reading test results for 13-year-olds hit the lowest level in decades." nytimes.com/2023/07/11/us/…

It's week 2 of Once Upon a Time at Camp Sparkler, @PlaySparkler's summer learning program. This week, we're featuring a story from Japan and fun play activities for parents and young children. Play along with us: playsparkler.org/campsparkler23
