A huge thank you to The TeachingBooks for having me as one of your guest bloggers! It was great to get the chance to talk about the creation of Maybe Just Ask Me's semi-autobiographical main character, Mazie. 😊 forum.teachingbooks.net/2025/03/gues... @ssedlib.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social

I tell kids every time I'm asked to come present about book bans that they exist bc there are people afraid of *them* and want to cheat them of their power. If young people weren't so necessary to the future, they wouldn't be trying so hard to strip them of all their power-- knowledge and voting.

Libraries aren't a luxury. They are a right. As publishers, we are unwavering in our support libraries. We remain committed to a literate, informed society and democracy, during #NationalLibraryWeek and beyond. Read our full statement: simonandschuster.biz/p/IMLS-Lette...

Thank you @boonewrites.bsky.social for featuring MAYBE JUST ASK ME! on Six Questions!!!

Reading Madeline as a kid mattered to @kdmaz.bsky.social She had cancer and she didn’t know of any other book that showed a little girl – like her - in the hospital. Representation matters. Read more on this week’s Six Questions blog! #kidlit #writers #writing www.boonewrites.com/post/six-que...

Happy We Need Diverse Books Day! 📚 Celebrating over here with a pile of diverse books for all ages. Be sure to follow @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social for more recs all year long & seek them out in your bookstores, schools, and libraries. #weneeddiversebooks #weneeddiversebooksday #booksky

Quick vocabulary lesson for those who get caught up in acronyms and forget... Diversity means welcoming & valuing people from all different backgrounds. Equity means fairness. Inclusion means not leaving kids out. And providing for those with special needs.

Beth Krommes, the Caldecott-winning illustrator of Where the Deer Slip Through, is a children’s book illustrator, wood engraver, painter, and pattern designer. She has brought stories to life in eleven books, including The House in the Night.

Happy We Need Diverse Books Day! With book bans and challenges happening at a horrifyingly consistent rate, we need this day more than ever. #WeNeedDiverseBooksDay #kidlit afuse8production.slj.com/2025/04/03/p...

Hello #kidlitartpostcard Day! I’m Katie Mazeika, I love creating illustrations with emotion and texture that feature diverse characters. Today’s postcard art is from my upcoming picture book MAYBE JUST ASK ME! (Beach Lane Books). Links to my website, and presale links in my bio. #disabilityawareness

This is a must add to your classroom library! I love that our main character takes control of her own narrative, stopping the stories about her clothing so she can say her truth. Important representation of disability in kidlit! @kdmaz.bsky.social @ssedlib.bsky.social

Art has always been accessible. The accessibility argument for Ai image generation doesn't hold water. Disabled artists have been making art all along and Ai scraping takes from them just as much as anyone else. Pick up a pencil. #artistsagainstai #supporthumanartists #kidlit
