I've been getting a bunch of messages from parents lately who are reading THE OGRESS AND THE ORPHANS with their children right now as a way of navigating these strange political times. And yes, the themes are more relevant than I might wish - misinformation, despotism, scapegoating, corruption.

I mean every word of it!

MOMO is full of fun, adventure, friendship, and shenanigans, but it’s also about whose stories get told, whose stories get erased and forgotten, and why. It’s about anger and justice, about reclaiming power & identity. Keep fighting to preserve kids’ right to read, learn, feel safe, and feel seen.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

This would be fun and not at all distracting from getting these chapters revised, so! 1 like = 1 thing I love 🖤✨️

Okay sure. 1 like = 1 thing I love!

✨ Blurb Reveal ✨ Only nine weeks remain until THE UNDERWILD: RIVER OF SPIRITS magically appears on shelves! Get ready to explore the Underworld on March 25, 2025 (Aladdin books/S&S) ✨ This blurb is from Heather Kassner, who has been an incredible friend and champion of my writing 🖤✨
