This Kikuyu translation comes from a librarian named Joan in Massachusetts. She had reached out to a group of librarians to see if anyone could help translate LAFE into Kikuyu. Through them she was put in contact with an African languages specialist who asked a native speaker of Kikuyu for a translation. Whew!
Thank you to everyone involved in making these Kikuyu signs possible!
Melissa emailed me from Texas sharing a Vietnamese translation by Thiện Cao, a student worker at the University of Houston-Downtown Library. I cannot even begin to express how blown away I am about how many people have come together to help me create more signs. It’s been amazing. Thank you Thiện Cao and Melissa!!!

I have to give complete credit to Brittany for putting it all together and it being totally awesome. She realized that the pun should be food related, and the books featured…
You could also call this post the fourth unofficial Build a Better Artwork post since I could totally see these being put out for a passive coloring program OR a SUPER SPECIAL FILL-IN-THE-LOGO WITH HOW TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD OR SOME SUCH COMMUNITY ART PROJECT WHERE YOU THEN CUT OUT THE IMAGE AND PUT…
The other week I received a lovely surprise email from the remarkable Lindsey Tomsu. She was busy working on firming up details for next year’s Summer Reading Program, and wanted to see if I’d tackle “Surf’s Up” Batman, and maybe Robin as well. Her teens really love Batman ’66, and she thought that it would…
I owe @renatasnacks a thank you for giving this post its title – it’s part of what she tweeted in response to what I’m sharing here. Which is something that I made for @bunnybrarian.
