I know it’s harder than ever for schools to have author visits and my tour can only go to so many places; I hope this virtual visit makes it a bit more equitable for everyone. Because I would love to see you!💜 linktr.ee/authorgracelin

If you want to read about the 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, there's a wonderful children's book about it by Martha Brockenbrough and Grace Lin @authorgracelin.bsky.social. Essentially by only one vote, the Supreme Court upheld that decision (and the 14th Amendment) today.

Wish this was an April Fools joke, but the Supreme Court heard arguments today to revoke birthright citizenship; an issue that most people decided was settled in 1898 with Wong Kim Ark. May I suggest that it might be worth looking at this book this week with your young readers?

Hi kidlit people! The publishing world is getting tougher out there; imo the best thing we can do is to lean into our own communities. Are you an Asian American kidlit creator looking for one? Well @debbi_michiko_florence and I have been trying to foster one!
