ove this retelling of “Rumpelstiltskin” by #macbarnett and #CarsonEllis. It is totally faithful to story but with enough playfulness to appeal to modern readers.The art is gorgeous and harks back to classic fairytale imagery.A great version of a great tale #PicturebookPage @scholasticuk.bsky.social
Today’s #bookmail! I love the Over and Under series by Kate Messner illustrated by #ChristopherSilasNeal I also LOVE Broadway. Rumpelstiltskin retold by #MacBarnett and illustrated by #CarsonEllis is great also! @chroniclebooks.bsky.social @scholastic.bsky.social @penguinkids.bsky.social Beautiful
Any of you had the chance to watch the Stories and Picture By documentary? I can't believe none of my libraries have it. Maybe now that #MacBarnett is the #NAYPL, they'll try to have more screenings. storiedproduction.com/story-and-pi...

The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown by #MacBarnett and #SarahJacoby
#nonfictionpb #pbbio #matgaretwisebrown
8. “Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem” by #MacBarnett and @adamrex.bsky.social.
Fantastic #UnderTheDustJacket and #Endpapers that take the form of adverts. They are quirky and funny and truly and set the tone for a playful quirky story.
“The Wolf The Duck & The Mouse” by #MacBarnett and #JonKlassen
It’s wonderful bonkers and hilarious. A truly quirky, odd book that every class I’ve used it with have adored. It also has possibly one of my favourite pages ever in a picturebook. A drunken party in a wolf’s stomach #PicturebookPage

Congratulations to fabulous, local, award-winning author #MacBarnett, the new #NationalAmbassadorForYoungPeople’sLiterature!
Mac recently read to thrilled 2nd graders at our #StorytimeProgram, inspiring the next generation of readers and creators to make their own art and stories!
I adore picturebooks and totally believe that the best ones are a truly untapped resource in our schools and that they are works of true literary merit. Absolutely agree with #MacBarnett. (He is really is one of the great picturebook creators)
