I'm seeing a number of posts that say things like, MAGA hates anyone who's read a book without pictures in it... Counterpoint: MAGA hasn't read enough picture books; if they had, they'd more likely be decent human beings w an inclusive world view. Everyone should read more picture books.

👀 Ooh! #portfolioday Show me your amazing work. Here are some favorite illustrations I’ve done over the years. 🙋🏻‍♂️ I’m Chris, an author/illustrator working in picture books. ✨ My dream project: a graphic novel about skateboarding. Work: Chrisdpark.com Rep: @essiewhite.bsky.social

Hello to everyone participating in #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm Julian Guy, an illustrator and writer. I'm interested in picture books, board books, editorial and middle grade graphic novels — I'm currently seeking representation. You can see more of work at artbyjulianguy.com

Thank you #KidLitArtPostcard for continuing to stock my feed full of amazing artists!!!

HELLO 👋 #KidLitArtPostcard I’m Chris, a Minneapolis based Author/Illustrator. I like bright, bold colors and abstract shapes…also tangents…love me some tangents.

Really honored that TOUCH THE SKY was the inaugural choice for Akron Carnegie Public Library's new permanent Storywalk at Pike Park. @cpark.bsky.social @carolhinz.bsky.social @lernerbooks.bsky.social www.inkfreenews.com/2025/06/30/s...

Familiarize yourself with recognizing fake A.I. imagery…you will need this skill when you are older and 99% of what you see online is not real…💥📣

It’s a ✨COVER REVEAL✨ for Jeong Is Jeong, releasing 2/3/26 from @randomhousekids.bsky.social Pre-order link in bio! “What is Jeong?” a little girl asks her grandma, and so begins a lyrical journey of discovery, kindness, and understanding in this ode to Korean American language and culture.

My reaction to having a bunch of new people follow/like/repost my account is to immediately distrust it all and block accounts I suspect are stealing my work to feed the A.I. beast…fucking hate A.I.

Calling it what it is. #nokings

I am so grateful for this honor -- TOUCH THE SKY is the first book I've written to make it into the Bank Street College of Education annual collection.

Thank you for this amazing review, @publisherswkly.bsky.social! @laancham.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @jemiscoe.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

A Minneapolis community surrounded ICE agents, telling them to “get the fuck out”. In the thread’s videos, you can see ICE detain someone and shove people around. Great work, Minneapolis ✊. Now, @governorwalz.mn.gov what are you going to do about this?

You know how I mentioned another PB I have coming out in 3 mos? Well, the adorable ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS also comes out on 9/2! Kirkus said, "... its quirky charm will readily appeal to young monster lovers ... [a] cuddly 'Can I keep it?' tale with a silly, flesh-eating twist."

Ummmm trying to find another word to describe this other than just … super cool?

(🧵) I’m finding it really hard to share my work on social media. These days. Creating it, no problem. But for the last couple months or so I’ve only checked my socials to actively block what I suspect are accounts looking to pilfer art styles to feed the A.I beast…

Three months until this extremely important and very personal book comes out. Please consider pre-ordering for homes, classrooms, and libraries. www.stephanielucianovic.com/not-like-eve...

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

Hi #kidlitartpostcard My 6yr old wants to get a lizard and it reminded me of my childhood pet leopard gecko “Elvis”. Work: Chrisdpark.com Rep’d: @essiewhite.bsky.social

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.” I am a children’s author.

Hearing early reports that book reps are laughing so hard at ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS that they are crying is giving me renewed writing strength. GET YOUR RED HOT PRE-ORDERS! www.bloomsbury.com/us/zombie-an...
