Bluesky isn’t letting me message but I’d like to add myself and illustrator @mrinali.bsky.social—the first book in our early-reader-in-verse trilogy came out this fall. Thanks!

A casting project kept me busy these past couple of weeks, but I managed to read these picture books: PIECITOS DE BEBÉ by @mrinali.bsky.social THE MEMORY QUILT by @lorikeating.bsky.social & Alyssa Grizenko THE BRONX IS MY HOME by Alyssa Reynoso-Morris and Kim Holt THE TRAIN HOME by Dan-ah Kim

“Prohibido llorar” received a starred review from the School Library Journal! Thank you to Melanie Ortega for such a beautiful review. And to my wonderful editors at Editorial Destellos and Lorenzo Sangiò for pouring their hearts into this book. #kidlit . Full review: www.slj.com/review/prohi...
