Á hverju ári fæ ég ótal pósta þar sem krakkar sem eru að reyna að safna öllum stóru Þín eigin-bókunum finna Þína eigin þjóðsögu hvergi. Ástæðan er einföld: Hún er uppseld!

EN! Barnaloppan og GH eru fullkomnir staðir til að finna eintök. Svona fyrir þá sem eru að leita... 🤓

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

"Morning, Jim!"
"Hey, Tom."

❤️❤️❤️

There is another one out in October. It’s for much younger readers, though, but really lovely.

And hopefully a third one - for the same age group as Stranded - next year. ☺️

Thank you so much for reading my book! And for all the kind words! ❤️

All the best from Iceland! ☺️

Congrats on the book! It looks beautiful. Can’t wait to read it.

An evening walk in Iceland…

Fàránlega töff!

Strandaglóparnir halda áfram að hrúga verðlaunum og viðurkenningum til sín á Surtsey. Í vikunni var bókin tilnefnd til Black-Eyed Susan Book Award (Maryland Association of School Librarians), sem besta myndabókin!

Á ekki til orð. Þetta er ótrúlegt! 🤯

Post a pic of who you wanted to be as a little kid

A hand holding up a stack of books in front of blurry bookshelves. The books are, from top to bottom: THE STRANGEWORLDS TRAVEL AGENCY by LD Lapinski VIVI CONWAY AND THE HAUNTED QUEST by Lizzie Huxley-Jones THE OTHERWOODS by Justine Pucella Winans SIR CALLIE AND THE WITCH'S WAR by Esme Symes-Smith THIS IS OUR RAINBOW: 16 STORIES ABOUT HER, HIM, THEM, AND US edited by Katherine Locke and Nicole Melleby ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by Clare Edge A SONG FOR YOU AND I by K. O'Neill THE OJJA-WOJJA by Magdalene Visaggio and Jenn St-Onge

And the right response to transphobes is *always* to uplift trans voices, as a reminder that we have always been here and we will always be here.

So here's another stack of recommendations of trans and nonbinary writers writing amazing, fantastical, magical stories for kids.
