Adding my voice to the chorus of praise for this book. The story of Pei's Glass Pyramid,but also a tribute to architects, artists - to anyone pursuing their unique, luminous dreams. Congratulations, @jeannewharvey.bsky.social and Khoa Le!📚 👍 #kidlit #architecture #booksky

Fellow William Steig fans, lovely piece by Liana Finck in the @newyorker.com FYI, PIPERS AT THE GATES OF DAWN has a nice chapter on him (and therapy). #kidlit #illustration #picture books 📚 www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

When I worked in a school library, one discussion we had before a lockdown drill was which of the three of us would push our copy machine in front of the door and which one of us would go hide with students. A truly fucked up conversation to need to have.

Euphemism: a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing. (So they're doing Trump a favor, not trying to present "both sides.")

This makes me so happy!

Charmed. I have a grand dog that's a chaweenie or a dachsawahwah...

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful: 1. Fake news, it didn’t happen. 2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened. 3. So it happened, so what. 4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

A well deserved story about Congressman Garcia from the local paper. I'd like to know more about what/who shaped his political style, but this is a start. Go Robert! www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

The record gliding isn't the most remarkable thing about this creature.

Humans are about 10 million times larger than viruses, yet they kill us regularly. We can’t see them. We can’t outrun them. We can’t destroy them with our guns. And yet we continue to disrespect them. Vaccinate.

Our panel at the #HowardZinnBookFair in SF is coming up! #socialjustice #picturebooks @annebroyles.bsky.social @innosantonagara.bsky.social @robliutrujillo.bsky.social

RIP. Truly elevated picture book nonfiction, along with Jonah.

Hope to make it! My panel is "Empowering Kids With Social Justice Picture Books" at 4:30.

Giving Thanks to Laurie for all her hard linking of #writing tips- not just for #kidlit by the way.

Did the designers of the cars even consider how high powered glaring lights would appear to oncoming traffic? Big oops.

One of my fave Caldecott books!

Gratitude to Jeanne for spreading the word! At a time when religious leaders are protesting injustice- this book is so relevant.📚

Agreed! YES: Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls for all 50 states to ABOLISH voting machines owned by Dominion, which is now owned by a MAGA election-denying Trump supporter.

What an incredible place for a #poem to resurface. Art as an expressive tool for justice. Carl Sandburg would be thrilled.

Important.

You could go further, right? Where’s the demand for a new Speaker? If Johnson is going to refuse to do his job, why aren’t we calling for him to be replaced, the House sent back to work, the shutdown ended, and the Epstein files to be released.

Hey Democratic governors! Could requesting UN monitors help? @govpritzker.illinois.gov @governor.ca.gov @tinakotek.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov

Eleanor Roosevelt faced death threats because of her activism for equal rights. DJT's courage wouldn't even fill up his bone spurs. He can tear down the #EastWing, but he can't erase her legacy.

No fear. From LA Times this morning. Not the lead story, but decent coverage. #nokings2025 💪
