My 4th and 5th grade are currently having a J vs K showdown. Students are reading excerpts from both Jerry Craft and Kwame Alexander to vote for their favorite. It's a close race so far. After, 2 days of voting, Craft has a slight edge. Which do you prefer: author or illustrator?

The most hilarious #MG illustrated #novel I’ve ever read! Shoutout to @jerrycraft.bsky.social & Kwame Alexander for creating a funny title that shows Ss how to have a healthy rivalry!

Did you know, and I already know you don’t, that this iconic scene from Spike Lee’s Malcolm X was shot in front of the house where I lived for the first 24 years of my life? And it’s also the brownstone where Jordan Banks lives in my New Kid graphic novels. @harpercollins.bsky.social

Congratulations to Team J (New Kid) AND Team K (The Crossover) for making Kirkus Reviews "Best Books of the 21st Century (So Far)" www.kirkusreviews.com/middle-grade... Can't wait till May 6 when our book, J-VS-K comes out!

Fantastic resource from @libro.fm, an audiobook provider (and Amazon alternative) that supports indie bookstores. Lots of great audiobooks in this list of frequently challenged titles, including books by @jerrycraft.bsky.social, @alexgino.bsky.social, and more favorites.
