I wrote an open letter to my fellow book ppl because no one is coming to save us. We have to save us. And I am weary of waiting for my colleagues to join the fight. Any fight. I chose book bans, but you don't have to www.prettyokmaggie.com/blog/2025/4/17/an-open-letter-to-my-fellow-book-creators

I think a lot of folks don’t see the links between children’s publishing and the rise of fascism. Andrew, my longtime editor and friend, has seen a lot in his career. He’s a bona fide expert in YA lit, and lives the promise of helping young people through engaging and beautiful books.

THE LEGEND OF BAN-DAL, a new Korean folktale, is coming next year! Can’t wait to share this book about our connection to nature (and how that connection is threatened by late stage capitalism 👀)

In today's episode of doomerism isn't a strategy, here's a list of things you can do today to make the world around you suck a little bit less: Pick ONE thing and do it. bsky.app/profile/itsa...

I really liked that "Don't Buy Stuff" rabbit. So much that I wanted to draw her a buddy, the "Keep Not Buying Stuff" coyote.

Happy Economic Boycott Day (or week or month or year!) to all who celebrate! 🥳🥳

Dear manager, This week I: 1. You’re like a dream come true 2. Just wanna be with you 3. Girl, it's plain to see that you're the only one for me, and 4. Repeat steps one through three 5. Make you fall in love with me If ever I believe my work is done, then I start back at one. - Jess

Who am I going to see at ALA? 🥳

Guess Travis won’t be proposing tonight

Why doomscroll when you can spend your time on this app? @5calls.org

each time I feel myself starting to panic about this godforsaken country, I try to take action. The action itself brings calm, proving to my body that hope is a verb, etc. calling my reps takes minutes, for instance, & the 5 calls app makes it especially easy: apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

I am not saying things are going to be fine. I am saying, find a thing to do that will put a little more hope in the world, however small.

If you're an author, illustrator, anthology editor/contributor, or another book creator, please join @authorsabb.bsky.social as we enter this new regime. Our momentum is strong and will continue getting stronger. www.authorsagainstbookbans.com #authorsagainstbookbans

How cute are these?!! 🥹

Does anyone know this book? I think it was a chapter book with spot illustrations where a girl really wants these popular jeans (maybe with apples on them) but her mom can only afford knockoffs. So she pretends to be poorer than she is and one of her rich classmates gives her a pair (1/2)
