To be honest, this was probably one of the toughest articles I’ve ever written. In the end, it did me good to write it. I hope it can inspire and encourage others ❤️🤗 #autoimmunity #chronicillness #sjogrens #kidlit

WHEN THE MAPOU SINGS is a verse novel I highly recommend❤️📕 Set in Haiti in the mid 1930s, Pinede seamlessly weaves historical, political, and social issues into a captivating story of family and community, love and friendship, betrayal and hope. #versenovel

Not long ago, I was tagged on a post that complained there are too many kids' novels that address grief, and I've been thinking about it ever since. (thread)

Moon Bear is a beautiful book that is surely shared repeatedly, with deeper readings each time. I’m happy to see it highlighted on your blog.

What an absolute pleasure to spend the morning at John’s Island Library and share in the joy of story time with librarian extraordinaire Amy Fordham and the many families in attendance. It was the perfect author event to wrap up 2024! 🧡🧸📚 #kidlit #library #storytime

EXCELLENT VERSE NOVEL— Sync, by Ellen Hopkins. Books like this one are important for teen readers to experience a rich story, strong verse, and validation, but also for adults to remember how tough it is to be a young person… especially when the odds are against you. #edusky

Happy 2nd Book Birthday to TEDDY, LET'S GO!🎂 I'm so grateful to all the readers, parents, teachers, librarians, booksellers, and reviewers who continue to share this story with children. 🧡🧸 #kidlit

I found a few picture books recently that do a wonderful job of reassuring children of how valued and cherished they are. I can imagine a precious moment between reader and child as they experience these books: I WOULD LOVE YOU STILL BRAVE LIKE FIREWEED ALL THE GREATNESS IN YOU #kidlit
