Hooray for Bird and friends! 🦜🐦🥳

Ihara Saikaku was probably the greatest writer of male/male love stories of the Edo Period (1603-1868).

Saikaku’s most famous book about male/male love specifically is called Nanshoku okagami, published in 1687 and translated by Paul Gordon Schalow as The Great Mirror of Male Love.

Drie kinderboeken over klimaatverandering: Scheten uit de schoorsteen (4+), Palmen op de Noordpool (8+) en Rugzwemmen (10+)

Aanstaande maandag geef ik een webinar voor de Vlaamse Grootouders voor het klimaat. Voor zover ik weet kun je ook meedoen als je geen grootouder of Vlaming bent. www.grootoudersvoorhetklimaat.be/events/lees-...

Delighted that 'Bird Is Dead' by Tiny Fisscher & Herma Starreveld (trans. by me, publ. by @greystonebooks) has not only been shortlisted for @societyofauthors Queen’s Knickers Award (founded by Nicholas Allan) but is also a Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year. Well done, Bird and pals! 🥳🎉

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors

Wow! ❤️

Great idea! Think I'll join you ❤️

I'm shocked. So sad. He was such an amazing, creative translator.

Nice! ❤️

Oh, that's so sad. He was such a great translator with an incredible sense of fun in his translations. I was sure our paths would cross at some point and that we'd meet in person. Sending strength to those who loved him.

Reading is a radical act. Every time a child picks up a book, new possibilities open up that were not there before. And it has the biggest positive impact of all factors on children's life chances! Every time you help a kid to read for pleasure, you will change their lives FOREVER. #literacy #books

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?
