If books came with post-credit scenes like Marvel movies… which one would you stay seated for?

This was a fun interview! bookstr.com/article/expe...

No shade I promise 👀 but I saw a post in a Facebook group about a kid who loves Dog Man, but his family were hoping he’d move on to “something else” because it’s “cartoon style.”

As mentioned... I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Turns out, a gang of naughty book ninjas kidnapped me and made me read non-stop for weeks. No breaks. No snacks. Just book after book after book. Every time I tried to leave, they whispered “just one more chapter…” 😵‍💫 Continued 👇

Hey children's illustrators... Share the book covers you've made and are super proud of 😁 #childrensillustrators

Hello you fine folk 👋 been quiet for a while I know but... Stoomio is back for the summer! I'm rejoining the bookish fun and looking to rebuild connections withing the fabulous book community. 👇

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Did anyone here see that article from BBC Culture '100 greatest children's books of all time'? If not, here it is below... I don't agree with the article at all. Not that the books on there aren't great but it's just so dated. I'd love to hear your thoughts... www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

Another of the author interviews from the Big Bearded Bookseller, this time from 2022. Nicola Ashbrook talks about her work and writing practice #author #writers #interview #blogging www.bigbeardedbookseller.com/2022/12/16/n...

My latest book review is a shift from my usual MG or picture book territory but totally worth checking out if you need an AI YA thriller on your tbr! #kidlit #kidsbooks #YABooks stoomio.com/anticipation...

So what are we all using for bookmarks in your current read? Me? Well since you ask... I'm using a ripped section of a notebook wrapper.

This place is already better than x and I've barely been on it. Would any authors like to do a Q&A for the Stoomio blog? #kidlit #kidlitcommunity
