Tangle-knot by @lorettaellsworth.bsky.social, illustrated by Annabel Tempest, is such a delightfully surprising, quirky, and heartfelt book all at once! I laughed so hard! It's a lot of fun to stumble across gems like these. 👏 #picturebooks #kidlit #bookrecommendations

@nancyhudgins.com has written one of my favorite books of the year so far. Please read “Books Good Enough For You: The Storied Life of Ursula Nordstrom”.

The masterpieces that Ursula shepherded into existence is astonishing. One right after the other. This book is a seminal #kidlit text!

That’s great, Katie! @kazwindness.bsky.social is definitely on my list of experts to take a course with.

In case you’re interested, we featured Worm & Caterpillar in our graphic novel episode:

I had to limit myself from going on ALL the ADHD side quests in these posts.

Infodumping about my #kidlit special interests is one of my love languages.

And if you’re interested, check out my substack newsletter.

I don’t chase trends but it’s helpful to know about popular & perennial topics.

About a decade ago, my goal was to get published.

Now, my goal is to make stories kids are EXCITED to read & that I’m excited to make. I’m honored I get to be part of the very special #kidlit space.

Remembering Lee Bennett Hopkins, American educator, poet, and anthologist. Locating only 1 collection of Langston Hughes poems to share with his students, he created his 1st anthology for children--as well as writing #picturebooks and a few YA novels. #childrensbooks #kidlit

Graphic with brown horse and pink dragon on yellow and purple background with text that says: Wallace and Poppy's La Dee Dah Book Drive. April 10th to May 1st. Speech bubble from the horse says: This is going to be so much fun, Poppy! Speech bubble from the dragon says: But Wallace, I don't know how to drive!

Orders are already coming in for the La-Dee-Dah Book Drive! Help Wallace and Poppy (and me and Charlene) celebrate our first book in the new graphic novel series ONCE UPON A TAIL by purchasing a book (or two) from our Bookshop registry to give kids books and joy! #KidLit

Such a great question!!!! I'm so basic. I use @publisherswkly.bsky.social and then going through @12x12challenge.bsky.social and my writing group chats. I love meeting other #kidlit writers in person. I think you gain a lot of insight that way. It's so much better to talk to real ppl! #kidlitchat

Remembering Margaret Marshall Saunders, OBE, Canadian author whose "beautiful Joe" was written for an American Humane Society competition, winning 1st prize. It was the 1st Canadian book to sell more than 1 million copies. #kidlit

Remembering Erik Christiaan Haugaard, Danish-born American writer and winner of the inaugural Boston Globe Horn Book Award for "The Little Fishes" 1967. Hakon of Rogen's Saga was an ALA Notable Book. #childrensbooks #kidlit

Remembering Marguerite Henry,American author who wrote about horses, dogs, and other animals--almost 60 books on all. Newbery Honors for "Misty" and the Newbery Medal for "King of the Wind" (1949). She sold her 1st story at age 11! #childrensbooks #kidlit

They don't cover #Kidlit much, do they? #Kidlitchat

Love it! I was lucky enough to participate in a fantastic #kidlit illustration intensive with @kazwindness.bsky.social with @scbwi-mi.bsky.social ! Plus Bitsy Bat is a go to for our neurospicy household before each new school year. & Worm and Caterpillar warm my queer little heart. ❤️❤️ Check 'em out!

Looking forward to eating this book up! #kidlit #picturebook

Back in the querying trenches after a publisher closure.

Grateful for everything I learned from that experience and excited to keep building this series and finding the right long-term home for it 💛
