Oh, I love them! 😍 congratulations, Sheri!

It can be hard to NOT to compare yourself w/others, esp when browsing social media. To avoid getting sucked into that self-destructive rabbit hole, I try hard to focus on enjoying my own journey at my own pace. My advice? Find your own joy. You may be luckier than you think. #DebbieOhiComics #KidLit

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

My editor's note.

That perfect patch of sunshine. I hope you and your four legged friends have a great Saturday! #puppylove

Thanks so much, Charlotte!

It's my #bookbirthday! 🎉 Alice Alone is officially out in the world! If anyone sees it at a library or book store, will you please share a photo? Thanks to everyone who has cheered for me along the way. Big, big love from me and "Alice" 💕💙💜♥️💛💗

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

This also lets you comment, vigorously and at length, on the accuracy of, and motivations behind, Google's choices.

My @amicuspublishing.bsky.social picture books!! KID & KID comes out March 4–preorder now!

This looks so cute, Sheri! Putting it on my TBR-to-my-class list. Congrats!

Hi, friends! There's a #giveaway of my newest book!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Just a reminder that the books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes absolutely no-one at all. They are BOOKS FOR EVERYONE - and you can never, ever be too old to read them, and to love them!

A LOVELY Kirkus review for my picture book, Alice Alone! Someone, pinch me? "This emotionally satisfying story will reassure children with multiple siblings that they’re vital to their family’s happy dynamic." "A cozy, relatable family story." Full review: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

If you have a #KidLit book launching Jan.13-19, 2025, reply w/ your book cover (with alt text), title, author & illustrator, publisher, launch date, link to where people can find more info. Pls add good karma to universe by helping to boost! It's a tough time to be launching books. #BookBirthday

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚 Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚

Congratulations, Chris! Enjoy this feeling, well done 👏!Sounds right up my alley...looking it up now.

I'm thrilled to share advance praise for ALICE ALONE from The Midwest Book Review! Read the full review here: www.midwestbookreview.com/cbw/dec_24.h... @amicuspublishing.bsky.social @olgaherrera.bsky.social

AMAZING way to start the new year, Jody! Congratulations!

Hubs is sound asleep on the couch next to me. I really want to go to bed, but my sweet pups are asleep on my lap after a couple hours of stressing over fireworks. Be gentle, '25.

Not making it til midnight here. Happy 2025!

I’m the kind of librarian who doesn’t care how many books you read this year, as long as you’re pro literacy and accessible library spaces for all and anti book banning and spreading misinformation.

64 Days until this picture book I love so much is out in the world and I can't wait! Beautifully brought to life with Olga Herrera's stunning illustrations! Alice Alone...coming March 4th, 2025 and available for pre-order now at your favorite book store!

RIP Jimmy Carter.

Woke up thinking about how, when #JimmyCarter lost his 2nd run for president, he must have felt pretty powerless. & about how, in that moment, instead of giving into despondency, he found the work he *could* do, & in doing so, became even more powerful. That feels useful as we head into 2025...

Love this!

The best superpower ever!

Lucky to have had a sneak peek at this one! 😍

Thanks for the reminder @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social #TlSky #EduSky #Skybrarians #Books #BookChallenge @bsky.app is different. Remember that when you are interacting. Boost the good :)

Two days away, enjoying nature--completely unplugged--does wonders for the soul. I even found a cozy reading spot to enjoy my current read...When Women Were Dragons by @kellybarnhill.bsky.social (SO GOOD)

Illustrator friends (or anyone who knows), I’ve got a question for you! What words are typically used to describe different styles of illustration? I’m stuck w/ wispy, bold, vibrant, but that doesn’t capture everything! What’s your style? TIA! #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

I have lots of reviews to write to support the many authors and illustrators at #NCTE2024!
