Just putting it out there that I love pigeons and would love to acquire a picture book about them!

We coexisted with those baby dire wolves for months without knowing they were here, which makes me think of all the magic surrounding us, which we aren't aware of yet.

Good to know!

Some motivation for children's authors right now: I once got to spend a day with an astronaut who's been to space many, many times, and when she found out I wrote books for kids she said, "Oh my god, I'm so jealous! That is like, the dream job! I wish I could do that." Keep writing, #KidLit folks.

Let’s work on updating this again. Hurray for mutually useful starter packs! “To be included directors must have a live, relevant URL in their bio, be relatively active on Bluesky, and be hiring illustrators and/or designers on a regular basis throughout the year.” That you? go.bsky.app/Hxoz9KX
