Content warning: Clean air in Early Years settings, resource

This online magazine has an excellent 1-page article on air quality in Early Years settings. Why it's important, why it's advantageous for businesses to take seriously, what you can do. From Anne McConway.
(Caveat, I don't think the format will work for screen readers. It's one of those where they try to make it look like a paper magazine, with arrows to "turn pages". On the other hand, if the page could be printed out, it could work well for showing to colleagues.)

Painting of a young boy in t-shirt and shorts standing on a doorstep, squinting coolly at the viewer beneath an expansive forehead. Beside him, the lifelike doll of a girl rests against the doorframe, clutching what appears to be a bottle with wires protruding from the top. The door behind them consists of glass panes, behind which a dozen disembodied hands can be seen. At the door’s top, directly above the boy, the moon reflects from a glass pane, dark but for a sliver of light on its bottom s…

Just checked out some truly excellent books from the library to read to my 4-year-old:
Adèle & Simon by Barbara McClintock (things to find), The Marvelous Now by Angela DiTerlizzi and Lorena Alvarez Gómez (rhyming & positive encouragement about mood regulation), and Forts by Katie Venit & Kenard Pak (lovely ode to children's forts).
I had a wonderful reverse-Magritte moment reading Adèle & Simon where Simon loses his drawing of a cat and my kid pointed out one of the actual cats in the image. I said "No, that's a cat, we're looking for a drawing of a cat," before realizing that technically we were looking for a drawing of a drawing of a cat, and the thing my kid pointed to was indeed a drawing of a cat, just not in that category relative to Simon's frame of reference...
