There's snow in my yard, but spring starts tomorrow. If you want a book to remind you no winter lasts forever and no spring skips its turn, try WIDE-AWAKE BEAR by me and Jean Kim from @harperkids.bsky.social. It's a bedtime book, a story of parental love and an ode to spring.

My sister-in-law, Julie Braun, read WHEREVER YOU GO to a fourth-grade class she’s subbing for. She shared one student’s responses with me and asked me to sign a book for her. It’s great to see a reader really get the book’s message.

If you know picture books, you know Melissa Sweet. She’s illustrated more than 100 books and written several, as well.

She’s won two Caldecott honors, been on the NYT bestsellers list, and won a bevy of other awards

I first heard of @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social when her book MY COLD PLUM LEMON PIE BLUESY MOOD was a Charlotte Zolotow Honor recipient along with my SOPHIE’S SQUASH. I loved her writing, and my respect has grown with her subsequent releases.

Obituary: Peg Kehret Prolific author and dedicated animal advocate Peg Kehret, known for her suspenseful tales of ordinary kids in dramatic situations, died on December 7, in Bellevue, Wash. She was 89.

Oh, no! I never met Peg Kehret, but I adored her from afar. Her book SMALL STEPS: THE YEAR I GOT POLIO was one of my favorites as was ANIMALS WELCOME. And, she wrote so many more. I highly encourage you to check them out and share with a child. #megakidlit #booksky
