Keep reading books. Keep writing books. In any form that suits you. Our freedom depends on it.

It’s clear this beautiful debut picture book was inspired by the author’s childhood. WELCOME HOME, ESMERELDA by @writerdaniela.bsky.social and Maribel Lechuga feels like the biggest hug! This story is full of so much love! #kidlit #booksky

On reframing #publication #writing rejections/passes: Sometimes, of course I feel sad. But, what perks me up is when I think this way: WOW! The amazing editor of ________ book(s) that I love actually read *my* manuscript. My baby, my manuscript, got the eyes of this incredible editor. What luck 😍
