I am loving #aarzuallaround, a #mg novel-in-verse about a spunky girl who saves money in an unexpected way to help her sister get medical treatment. @marziehabbas.bsky.social pulls heartstrings while also incorporating details about Pakistani food and culture in innovative poetry. #kidlit

BELA AND LILY was inspired by a childhood memory in a Dallas park, and every page was drawn at my desk in Los Angeles. So it’s only fitting that I’m celebrating the launch in both cities I love. 🌼 💛 to my team at Kokila, @penguinkids.bsky.social, @childrensbookworld.bsky.social bit.ly/NKK-Events
