NYC folks: I highly recommend testifying for the increased library budget. NYPL provides books and library cards to kids nationwide, to ensure they have access to books otherwise banned. You have 72 hours to submit testimony for the Committee on Cultural Affairs at 10am council.nyc.gov/testify/

This conversation is happening LIVE over on IG, Thursday, 3/20. For those of you still on the platform, let’s use it to talk about ideas for sharing these and other FEARLESS VOICES in picture books with young readers. 📚

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

I grew up in NYC in the 70s and 80s. He’s always been a petty thug and a bully. That was a shake down right there in the Oval Office.

Resist. Freeze your corporate retail spending today. Cash only at small businesses if you shop.

Last days to bid on a 12x12 Picture Book Challenge membership! This year’s proceeds will support LKBF’s free literacy programs, as well as rebuilding school and classroom library shelves impacted by the California fires. events.readysetauction.com/latinxkidlit...

Do you want young readers to know what real courage and leadership looks like, in this moment? Make sure to teach them about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I could not be prouder of her, right now. She speaks truth to power every single, solitary day. We have never needed her more.

As seen at Kindling Words retreat. ❤️ Spending this weekend with passionate, talented writers, artists, and editors dedicated to making beautiful (necessary, funny, transformative) books for kids was the salve my soul needed. Thank you, all, for your grace and generosity. ❤️

Yesterday was such a celebratory day (in kidlit). Maybe that’s why waking up this morning to the onslaught of continued bad news felt extra heavy. It’s the stark juxtaposition, the proximity to hope. 🖤 But (*deep sigh*)… onward.

Found another way to divest support from Amazon. Ditched my Goodreads account for StoryGraph. It’s got nifty pie graphs & charts to make my nerdy reading heart happy AND it is Black-woman owned!! You can import your Goodreads data if you want. Find me there! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/aade...
