Hello to all the #kidlit folks who have (re)connected with me here in the past couple of weeks. In addition to writing books (SHARK VS. TRAIN, WHOOSH!), I also cohost a fun video series about book dedications. And we have a brand-new episode with @nataliasylv.bsky.social! youtu.be/tCG9zZb7QMA?...

Congratulations to all of the nominees, but a special congratulations to @jarrett-lerner.bsky.social, Nell Cross Beckerman and Karla Arenas Valenti. Is it a coincidence that their books are the first three on the list? We think not 👊! txla.org/news/2025-20...
