Reminder from your resident high school lubrarian: if you plan to do a Banned Books Week display and programming, prioritize living marginalized authors. Use this time to help those who need it the most.

Over-heard reaction while grocery shopping:
Toddler, pointing to chips: "Easter bunny?"
Mom: "Chips" with a big smile on her face.
This is why kids are the best!
That's my favorite way to avoid tasks. :)
Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”
I'm so excited about this one. That widdle, yittle squishy friend is so darling!
Amidst the memes, it would be great if people took a beat to learn about a very unique and important place and its inhabitants… 🐧

I didn't start writing seriously until 2014. For those of you around before then, how was publishing impacted during and after the 2008 crash? I have my assumptions, but you know what they say about assuming.
Plight of the Pelican publishes today! 🥳✨
Written by @jstremer.bsky.social illustrated by @gordywright.bsky.social and published by Holiday House books.
HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY!
The content of Sen. Cory Booker’s speech is impressive. Also, as a middle aged mom, I’m in awe that he hasn’t used the bathroom since yesterday. Get this man a red Gatorade and some PopCorners when he’s done!!

Is your book on the LibGen list? Let us know.
If you know an agent who loves sports and reps picture books, let me know. I have a sporty baby girl PB. Women's sports is experiencing astronomic growth in both audience numbers and $$. Sarah gives the details in the thread below.
Related, but unrelated: Elsbeth! Oh my goodness how I love that show.
I read INSIDE THE PARK by @andreawillwrite.bsky.social tonight in one sitting! Oh my goodness-what a riveting middle grade. If you have a sports fan in the home, place this one in their hands.
PB Party 2025 entry ✅
Good luck to all the entrants! 🍀
The news is making me ragey and I'm having a really hard time writing.
