Thanks to @alaneadams.bsky.social and her Operation Fill the Shelves initiative for sending these new books for our school’s media center collection! Most of these are reader requests, so I know they’ll be well loved by our students. #kidlit #SchoolLibrary #ReadingIsAlanezing

Four smiling people holding up children’s books in a room that looks like a warehouse with tables and shelves full of children’s books and boxes of children’s books.

Feels relevant to reshare this tonight, as I find myself wishing I somehow managed to be on the Integrity with the Artemis crew.

#KidLit creators, astronauts are jealous of us, too. ❤️

So we are back on track. Despite some challenges, which have been resolved, still targeting a May 12th release for Tall as the Sun. Hoping for good vibes/luck as reviews & other stuff come in. Nervous but excited. Hopeful that kids respond to it for summer reading & more.

Graphic that shows the cover of This Wolf Was Different by Katie Slivensky and Hannah Salyer, featuring a close up of a wolf with a human reflected in her eyes, and the caption above that reads "The New York Public Library Best Books of 2024" and also the cover of I, Rock: A Geology Tale by Katie Slivensky and Steph Stilwell, which shows a cartoon rock with googly eyes sitting on a cross section of the ground, with the caption above that reads, "SLJ Best Book of 2025".

#Librarians and #Teachers, if you're looking to expand your #KidLit science selections, or grownups, if you have a kid who loves nature, I recommend my picture books, illustrated by Hannah Salyer (This Wolf) and Steph Stilwell (I, Rock), pubbed by Beach Lane Books! 😃

This is exactly it--not only in journalism, but in #kidlit and #yalit writing, writing books for adults, all creative writing. And in illustration, design... all creative effort. You can't jump over the process to the result!

An autumn landscape with orange trees and a blue sky, a poppy patch with trees, a winter landscape with trees and frost, a summer woodland with blue hydrangea, a landscape with oxeye daisies and a landscape in pink with a deer.

That's amazing! Congratulations! Judy Blume was one of my favorite authors as a child. As a teacher, I read Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing as a read-aloud to many of my classes. Freckle Juice is another of my all time favorites.
