The “teen takeovers” in Chicago take place in Hyde Park, and I can confirm they are a little nerve wracking. BUT ALSO, the term “teen takeover” is objectively hilarious and stupid, and I hope teen takeovers continue so we can keep saying it www.npr.org/2026/05/13/n...

Mac Barnett is 100% correct that most children’s books today are bad. My kids gravitate to problematic old stuff, which were at least respectful of young readers’ intelligence and ability to process complex emotions. If Jon Klassen publishes with Mac Barnett, then Barnett is bulletproof IMO.
