Who is excited about the new Harry Potter TV series? The kids look ready to make magic for a whole new generation of fans. Maybe it's time to revisit these books as an adult, as the series will mine more book material than the movies ever did.

I read The Wild Robot! Very simple but solid. The movie did some parts better and some parts not as well as the book. Do you prefer the book or the movie?

Is anyone in the #picturebook community a fan of author/illustrator Mike Thaler? His Black Lagoon series was a huge inspiration to me growing up. Does anyone have a favorite book of his?

Greetings! I'm Jake, a traditionally published author with a picture book due in 2026: MY LIFE AS AN ASTHMANAUT from Free Spirit Books. I've also had kidlit stories published in Smarty Pants Kids Magazine, Skipping Stones Magazine, & Cricket Media!

@heyaliciamae.bsky.social Hey, Alicia! Thanks for the follow!

@troystory.bsky.social Hey, Troy! Finally made it! Thanks so much for the advice on this platform. Can't wait to share more kidlit news with you in the coming months!
