The king is VERY confident and loud and wants to show you all the things he can do with his books. But he doesn’t know that books are for reading. Good thing his friends are there to help. Is it didactic? A bit. But it’s also funny, a blast to read aloud, and pretty relevant to the moment. #kidlit

The Society of Illustrators, along with national retailer Unclaimed Baggage, hosted a live painting party, at which nearly 20 artists transformed hard-sided luggage into creative designs

Absolutely delighted to share that Andrea Offermann's author-illustrator debut (!) will be coming out next year with Ann Kelley at Random House Studio. Wilhelm Werner's story reads like an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but it's all true and meticulously researched by Andrea. Congrats, Andrea!!!

When you're creating, you're not meant to get it right on the first try. Revision is magic. That's when you stumble upon an idea that's infinitely better than you started with. When you discover connections you didn't even know were there. When you find that absolutely essential line is irrelevant.

Today is #KidLitARTPostcard Day, when #KidLit artists worldwide share art on 1st Thu every month! Founded by @ginaperry.bsky.social ❤️🎨 NOTE: Don't forget the "art" in #KidLitARTpostcard! Some are mistakenly posting #KidLitPostcard instead. More info: ginaperry.com/postcard

Switching to PDFs for publishing contracts has made things much more convenient for all of us, but every now and then I miss the satisfaction of affixing "Sign Here" stickers in precisely the right place on paper copies.

Delighted to see THE WORLD ENTIRE written by @ebrownbooks.bsky.social on Tablet Magazine's Best Jewish Children's Books of 2025! "As soon as you pick up The World Entire... by Elizabeth Brown, with illustrations by Melissa Castrillón, you know it is a special book." Congrats, Elizabeth & Melissa!

Always nice to be recognized by an incredible institution like the Chicago Public Library, but even more so when it's from your home state - congrats to Illinoisian Elizabeth Brown (@ebrownbooks.bsky.social) on THE WORLD ENTIRE being named one of the Best Informational Books for Younger Readers!
