Reggie Brown's (@reggiebrownart.bsky.social) art in our picture book LITTLE BIG MAN (Scholastic/Orchard Books, 2025) has lots of visual humor as Elijah tries to help with chores.

Varian Johnson presents LITTLE BIG MAN YouTube video by Brodart Co.

After working on this book for years, I'm excited that LITTLE BIG MAN, my debut picture book with @reggiebrownart.bsky.social, is almost out in stores. More details are coming soon concerning preorders, the tour, and other events, but for now, here's a bit from the book!

What We Lose If We Lose Science Twitter A scientist eulogizes an online community he spent a decade helping to build—one that may be disappearing before our eyes.

I wrote this eulogy for the once-great science twitter 2 years ago today for American Scientist magazine.

I'm glad to see some of this community re-establishing at Bluesky.

i did not leave twitter to have that dumb bitch all over my TL here

After Moana 2, We All Owe Lin-Manuel Miranda an Apology Without him, every song in the sequel is as flimsy and disposable as the last.

The songs in Moana 2 are terrible. I wrote about what Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to Disney, and what we’ve lost without him.

Happy thanking! #kidlit #kidlitpostcard #thanksgiving

Something new. #kidlit

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.
