Hey Middle Grade book fans! Check out my year-end wrap-up of the MG market, hot off the presses! All the data you didn't know you wanted to know. 🤓 www.samsubity.com/mg-landscape...

I am happy to share that my second MG historical novel, CALIFORNIA OR DUST, will be out in the spring of 2026. My thanks to Michelle Hauck @stormliterary.bsky.social and Mora Couch at Holiday House Books for giving me a chance to do this a second time. 🤍🩶 #middlegrade #kidlit #historicalfiction

Celebrating history shapers like John Lewis and Mae Jemison and lesser-known individuals with comparable impact, such as playwrights August Wilson and Lorraine Hansberry, and engineer Raye Montague, these 28 titles share the lives, struggles, and triumphs of notable Black Americans.

White out 🤍❄️🤍

Sending out the call again because I am now in desperate need of middle grade and sci-fi/fantasy YA books! 🙏 Oh, and graphic novels and (middle/HS appropriate) manga! Please boost so we can reach as many folks as possible! ❤️‍🩹📚

Thrilled to see this news finally out! And even more thrilled to get back into this world!

I loved chatting with Meg. She is the kindest of hosts, and her podcast soothes the soul. I hope you will give it a listen. If you do, I suspect, like me, you’ll start wishing Meg were your neighbor or best friend. 🤍 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m... @stormliterary.bsky.social

Key findings from the 2024 Global TB Report: 1. TB is the world's deadliest infectious disease even though it's curable (1,250,000 dead in 2023). 2. The global burden is growing even as deaths (slowly) decrease. 3. We're doing a (slightly) better job of identifying cases. www.who.int/publications...

A lot of wonderful, unexpected things have happened in the six months since LIGHT AND AIR came out. One of the best and most unexpected(!) things arrived this week: A group of wonderful fifth graders and their equally wonderful teacher made a book ABOUT my book and sent me a copy! 🥹💛🤍🩵

Many thanks to Shelf Awareness for this starred review of LIGHT AND AIR! ⭐️ www.shelf-awareness.com/sar-issue.ht...

Many thanks to this fifth grader whose illustrated review of LIGHT AND AIR made my whole day (week, month, year...). And thank you to her thoughtful teacher for making sure I got it. 💛🤍🩵
