This is why they ban books. Mustn't let in truth.

'Reconciliation isn't just about the Indigenous people and the government and the churches. It's about every Canadian. We all have to work at this if we want it to work. We have to put an effort into it,' says Two-Spirit Elder Charlotte Nolin. Watch more: www.aptnnews.ca/ourstories/r...

I am reading Valley of the Rats by @mahtabnarsimhan.bsky.social and I'm really digging it! It's mysterious, creepy (CW: there's a LOT of rats!), and about the right amount of scary for upper middle-grade. Wonderful read to kick off spooky season. 👍📚 #kidlit 📚👍

This Canadian stands with Portlanders and Oregonians as their government declares war on them.

Well this looks like fun!

I'm at Word Vancouver Exhibitor Fair today, meeting readers and supporting my fellow Children's authors. Come say hi! #kidlit @wordvancouver.bsky.social

Sun's out, tongue's out! Our little friend hasn't been feeling well, so it's great to see her out enjoying the walk again. Happy Tongue-out Tuesday, everybody! #tot #tongueouttuesday

Schnauzerfest is the charity I started because of Susie-Belle. Every year the charity helps a lot of dogs and people. October is the month we first started to do anything in 2014. I’d love you to take a look at the website and if you can support in any way, that too 🙂 www.schnauzerfest.org

We did it. We had a book launch! Lots of people came, incl. some lovely kids who have the 1st book & came for the 2nd ❤️📚 And we got mobbed by a gang of 4 schnauzers! I think it went well. #kidlit

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

i've said it before but i feel like my nebula win is a really great opportunity to push back against the "indie is garbage" narrative, but i always feel like i'm shouting into the void. i'm not sure how we, as a community, can use that to push back, but i really think we should.

Wow! This post really blew up! Thank you all for your kind words of support 😊 #gratitude #booksky #kidlit

Empathy share. Sorry to hear you didn't get any kids at your event. Hope your next one is better

My book launch is tomorrow! I'm happy, but so very nervous

Scraped from @tom-sam-emi.bsky.social's blog. I don't think he would mind since these are Theodore Roosevelt's words. Seems relevant again (still) today.

I like all-ages entertainment, the kind of movies you can take 3 generations to. In my writing I try to include something for everyone, which puts me in #kidlit category. #kidlitchat
