Happy National #Sourdough Bread Day! I’ve baked around 100 sourdough loaves while working on my upcoming #picturebook, #BREADDAYS! I love how baking sourdough is a slow process and how every loaf turns out uniquely different. Here are some of my favorites - from toad-looking ones to leafy ones!

You are amazing, Raven! Thank you so much for supporting 🫶✨

Also enjoyed learning more about Honorary Reporters and what they do! The program run by the Korean Culture & Information Service under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, & Tourism. The reporters come from all over the world, covering stories about people who represent Korea and Korean culture abroad!

I had a nice email interview with Sruthi about The Most Perfect Persimmon and how I represented my Korean culture in the book! Full interview: honoraryreporters.korea.net/board/detail... #kidlit

Are picture books undervalued? This new ambassador of children's literature thinks so The Library of Congress has given Mac Barnett the job of promoting books and reading to kids across the country. His plan is to focus on picture books.

Yay picture books! #kidlit @npr.org

"if we are to really respect the taste and intelligence of kids, we should also be venerating their art as highly as any other literature." - Mac Barnett

@cutrhut.bsky.social = broom master!

I love making mini brooms! 🧹

Really enjoyed listening to @peterbrownstudio.com and @eliotschrefer.bsky.social's discussion today!

Big shoutout to the young reader who asked Peter "What was it like to create The Wild Robot?" amid many heady questions like technology, animal ethics, and their portrayal in media. So brave 🙌

The Most Perfect Persimmon featured in The Korea Times! #kidlit
