N/D #HBMag #HBPubPreviews #5Qs for @normfeuti.bsky.social abt A KID LIKE ME (HarperAlley/ @harperkids.bsky.social): "My biggest adjustment in writing for middle graders was learning to trust them to follow the story’s emotional arc w/o my spelling it out too explicitly" www.hbook.com/story/publis...

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

We can't wait to see Huda Fahmy, Saadia Faruqi, @normfeuti.bsky.social , and @meganefreeman.bsky.social at #NTTBF26!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times, hard mode (no Star Wars or Trek, no Pixar, no LOTR, no Disney, no Marvel)

My son drew this at work out of boredom and it’s honestly my favorite thing right now.

#Bookaday I added @normfeuti.bsky.social's A Kid Like Me to my 2026 Books I Love presentation: www.pinterest.com/mrschureads/...

These look amazing!!

My author's note from A KID LIKE ME. The discourse around food assistance (and social programs in general) hits close to home for me.
