A little reminder for everyone in the #KidLit community. Words matter, and we know that more than anyone. Love y’all.

Text on picture of books says: Reading is reading is reading is reading.
Book-love is book-love is book-love is book-love.
The book that makes a child fall in love with reading is a book worth writing and making.
I am 100% certain that 100% of the kids who have access to as many books as possible have as many opportunities to fall in love with reading as possible.
Your book could be the one to make that happen.
Keep writing.

Absolutely weeping with joy to have mine and Ross’s book MOO HOO as part of the reboot of my favorite childhood show, the one that fosters my love of reading and writing. 😭😭😭 And with @mychal3ts.bsky.social as host?? Pinch me. (But don’t because I don’t wanna wake up.)

My gift to you today is 3 Not-Quite-Valentine's Day cards. Cause ya know... if you needed a distraction and stuff (CAUSE I SURE DO) #kidlitart

Construction paper looking hearts in purple, pink, and reds, on a light purple bg. A lacy white box says "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue. I can fight Fascists, When I am with You."

A pale yellow card with text: Screaming into the Void is Better with You!

Two blobby people with pink hearts are holding hands while screaming into a scribbly abyss. There are paper cut out looking A's swirling into the hole.

Red heart on goldenrod background. Inside the heart there is a fist holding a pitchfork, such that the pitchfork looks like a cupid's arrow. Text says: You'd Look Sexy... With a Pitchfork

Amusing myself while sick alongside the kiddos this week. A rewrite of the chorus to Noah Kahan’s Stick Season. Maybe when I get vertical I will play it on the uke. #KidLit

I really love helping pre-published authors. I worked with a client today who’s stepping into the #KidLit world after many years in journalism, and it was so much fun to experience his aha moments. If you’re ever looking for coaching or editing on a story, hit me up! audreyperrott.com/for-hire

Why should children read? Because reading for pleasure has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. And imagining a better world is the first step to building one. So come what may - please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. It has never mattered more.

While I was sad to miss the marches yesterday, I fully believe reading books to kids and encouraging them through stories, sharing light, and promoting literacy, kindness, and imagination is its own beautiful form of resistance. #WRAD2025 #KidLit

Took my own #StoryStorm advice and saw @jimgaffigan.bsky.social live tonight! It was a great way to end a very full #WRAD day — with two guys who make me laugh a lot. Tempted to yell out to Jim during his set that “audio books ARE reading” though. It counts, Jim. I promise. 😆 #AuthorSky

My teen/tween have typical sibling disagreements, but sometimes they take turns reading aloud to each other from their favorite series, and my worries cease for a moment. Books can be a window, mirror, door, plane ticket, escape, refuge, or a peace treaty. They are never the villain. #KidLit

Audrey Perrott (she/her) @audreysbooks.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

I’m just saying… all those who are making the joke that the $25 million for a 47 library would be filled with picture books is an insult to picture books. #kidlit #picturebookauthor
