Hello #kidlit family! Happy #kidlitartpostcard days www.annelyso.com

Hey #kidlit, with everything going on in the world I think we could all use a collective reminder. *Why* do you choose to make books for children?

Huge thanks to the Canada Council for their support of Canadian writers. Read more in my post. maryloudriedger2.wordpress.com/2025/03/13/h...

Indie booksellers are already struggling & U.S./Canada tariff war could be disastrous for 🇨🇦indie bkstores. Canadian bksellers have joined forces to ask govt to exempt BOOKS from the 25% counter-tariffs scheduled to start April 2nd (source: Publishers Weekly). #BookSky youtu.be/sIwVgMYLlXo...
