I'm still kind of in shock that both PAINTER and BOUNCE made this list--with a huge team effort from my two amazing illustrators, Stacy Innerst for PAINTER AND THE PRESIDENT and Eileen Ryan Ewan for BOUNCE) So many wonderful picture books--check them out! www.kirkusreviews.com/.../2024/pic...

Books. When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it. Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.

So well deserved. ONE LONG LINE is a must for every school library. It's a ground-breaking new genre: the HOWdunnit.

I'm such a fan of the show!! (And of so many of these other authors/illustrators!)

Kidlit friends--will you be at #NCTE24 this week? Here's where I'll be!
