As editorial director at Kar-Ben, my #MSWL is all Jewish kids books. I want stories that feel contemporary, surprising, unpredictable, plot-driven, clever, fun, absurd, and/or whimsical, where the kid has agency and goes after their goals. How to submit: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/le...
Looking forward to querying you next week.

"Success is not always what you see. Have a growth mindset." Image is an illustration by Kaz Windness of two potato plants. One has a large plant above the ground and one potato underground. The other has a small plant on top and a bunch of potatoes with eyes growing underground. Kaz Windness logo is a cute outline bat.
Let your EYE-deas grow in their own time. Sooner or TATER you'll see success.
How do I produce so much and work so fast? Years (and years!) of practice and figuring it out. Bloom late.
Share this with someone who needs some encouragement.

I got a rejection today. I was bummed, but... I remembered my Query Pass Punch Card! It's the first time I've punched it since I created it. It took the sting away ever so slightly.

This looks adorable!
Graphic with a background image depicting a clear, bright blue sky over green rolling hills in the countryside. At the center of the graphic is the cover for the upcoming picture book “Ways Papi Says I Love You” written by Delia Ruiz and illustrated by Carlos Vélez Aguilera. The cover illustration depicts an old pick up truck sitting on a countryside road. Sitting on the edge of the truck bed is a young Mexican girl with her hair in two braids and wearing overalls. Next to her and leaning on the edge of the truck bed is a Mexican rancho wearing a broad straw hat, a long sleeve shirt, and jeans. At his feet there is a dog sitting, with its tongue hanging out of its mouth. At the top of the graphic is the release date: March 24th, 2026. At the bottom of the graphic is a tagline for the book that says, “A heartfelt celebration of the father-daughter bond.”
Graphic with a background image depicting a clear, bright blue sky over green rolling hills in the countryside. The graphic contains a book summary, which reads in part: “How many ways can Papi say I love you without saying the words? Through actions big and small, his love shines during their road trip. A heartfelt celebration of the father-daughter bond—ideal for fans of My Papi Has a Motorcycle. When Papi, who is always busy working at el rancho, asks Maricruz to jump in the truck with him to go get groceries for Mami, she grabs the list and sprints! Inspired by the author’s own truck rides with her father through a ranch in Mexico, Ways Papi Says I Love You connects the love languages between a father and daughter and shows the many ways love can be expressed and received. Written and illustrated by a Latine duo, Ways Papi Says I Love You is available in English and in Spanish.”
🛻 COVER REVEAL! 🛻 WNDB is excited to give you all a first look at the cover for WAYS PAPI SAYS I LOVE YOU by Delia Ruiz and Carlos Vélez Aguilera, a heartfelt picture book celebrating the father-daughter bond forthcoming from Charlesbridge on March 24th, 2026!
