Lovely to see @johnparraart.bsky.social on @slj.com's Dia de Muertos roundup. There is still time to pick up this one! 💀https://www.slj.com/story/5-picture-books-for-dia-de-muertos

Cover reveal!! This incredibly adorable and hilarious book is award winning author illustrator Marcelo Verdad’s first time illustrating another creator’s work. I think he hit it out of the park, what do you think? 😍

I am so excited to share news of another upcoming project for the wonderfully talented Heidi Moreno. Her novel graphic panels on this project are just the coolest. I cannot wait to see this fabulous story, written by Pura Belpré winner Laekan Zea Kemp in print! @penguinkids.bsky.social 2m

Reworking an old sketch with a more loose hand. How is your Friday going? #sketchbook #kidlitart

Yup, it is most definitely "colourwork sweaters and hot chocolate while waiting for the bus" weather. #kidlitart

A cool, calm, serene thanks to Christina Barber for her review of EMERSON on The Miramichi Reader! #kidlitart #bcbooks #canadiankidsbooks miramichireader.ca/2025/09/emer...

Happy Publication Day to the gorgeous JUST SHINE! and ¡SOLO BRILLA! by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, illustrated by Jacqueline Alcántara. This powerful story was inspired by the Justice's mother, Celina, who had the wonderful ability of helping people see their own brilliance. Beautiful and inspiring! 😍

Just a funny idea for an imagined book cover. 😂 Maybe a middle grade book in the future? I remember my grandpa had a mini shark at some point! Or maybe I was dreaming and it was just a really big fish... #kidlitart

Happy publication day to @123con.bsky.social' bilingual board book ONE ELEPHANT/UN ELEFANTE, illustrated by Eduardo Marticorena, Juliet Menendez's HOPEFUL HEROES and HEROES DE LA ESPERANZA, written by @margaritaengle.bsky.social, and @writerandreapage's WHO WAS WILMAN MANKILLER? Congratulations x3!

Lots of new friends I've made have asked me how to pronounce my last name. What a thoughtful question! My last name is a common word in Asia, particularly from Vietnam. Most English speakers have trouble, but that's okay. Also, do you know who Barbara Walters and Arnold Palmer are? 😰 #kidlit

I am kind of a local news nut, so this is a dee-light to see! Mr. Keith Baldrey's bookshelf is the ultimate BC author's easter egg!!! ❤️ This man has made it a mission to support BC books even as he talks about federal funding for EV infrastructure. He is so cool. #kidlit #kidlitart #bcbooks

New video drop for my latest fantasy adventure novel, ANOMALIES 53: Into The Shadows. 📖 I don't like making videos--it feels so awkward and I come out as awkward...yet, I do it. Here's my latest. Enjoy! youtu.be/rU5zaydDw38?... #KidLit; #FantasyBooks, #Anomalies53 #MiddleGradeBooks #Area53
