#CallingCaldecott : "Our first post about an eligible 2025 book is coming up on Thursday, but before we focus on the 2026 awards, let’s take a moment to appreciate Rebecca Lee Kunz, winner of the 2025 #Caldecott Award for CHOOCH HELPED..." www.hbook.com/story/blogs/...

I could listen to #DanielNayeri and Matthew Winner all day. If you're a fan of gorgeous, heart-wrenching middle grade novels, pre-order The Teacher of Nomad Land from Levine Querido. www.matthewcwinner.com/post/carryin...

A few months ago Becky & I got to meet Abby White at a book event. She was kind enough to give us an ARC of her debut novel, now out. It's such a fun read! Cover copy says: "Looking for Alaska + You are so not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah," and that's about right! Check it out: www.abbywhitewrites.com

THE TEACHER OF NOMAD LAND: A WORLD WAR II STORY by award-winning author Daniel Nayeri is a powerful #MGLit historical fiction novel that shines a light on the often overlooked Iranian front of World War II. A thought-provoking & moving tale. @levinequerido.bsky.social youtu.be/VTDPiVcNl5E?...

guess what is out today? FUTB⚽️LISTA by Jonny Garza Villa! College sports, bi awakenings, and tender coming of age — Futbolista has it all! 🍍

I've learned to expect a lot from Bologna. But I did NOT expect Arthur Levine to give me (and you!) a sneak peek at our book THE TRUE UGLY DUCKLING: HOW HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN BECAME A SWAN. The art is just magnificent, created by paper sculptor Calvin Nicholls. #bcbf25 @levinequerido.bsky.social

Don’t miss out. This is your chance to get an exclusive sticker sheet and a signed copy of JGV’s highly anticipated first adult romance, #Futoblista!

We have two amazing authors headed to #WinterInstitute25! Check out why the buzz for AI INCIDENT (MG) and ONE OF THE BOYS (YA)

Congratulations, Rebecca Lee Kunz!

I am always so proud when I have bought the winners of the #AlaAwards in advance. This year I happened to have bought both #Caldecott AND #Newbery !

Rebecca Lee Kunz has been vaulted into children's literature's elite with the Caldecott win for illustrations in this story of a Cherokee family and a young boy just trying to help. #alayma

The 2025 Randolph Caldecott Medal goes to CHOOCH HELPED, illus. by Rebecca Lee Kunz, by Andrea L. Rogers #ALAyma

@shaun505.bsky.social - big news today! CHOOCH HELPED won the Caldecott Medal. Author is Andrea L. Rogers; illustrator is Rebecca Lee Kunz. Both are citizens of Cherokee Nation. americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2025/01/choo...

This year's Caldecott medal went to a book about an older sister frustrated when her baby brother "helps." The Newbery went to a middle-grade tale about a time traveler at the turn of the century.
