ZOOMI & ZOE AND THE TRICKY TURNAROUND is perfect for your favorite 4 to 8-year-old reader. And book two, ZOOMI & ZOE AND THE SIBLING SITUATION follows in August! (I got a sneak peek and it is even better than the first. Order both!) ✨ @coreyannhaydu.bsky.social & @anneappert.bsky.social are awesome.

Similar to previous photo, but in this one book two of the series peeks out from behind book one.

New chapter book series by one of my forever favorites, @coreyannhaydu.bsky.social, launches today! It's filled with big, relatable feelings, irresistible characters, sparkling imagination, and delightful full-color illustrations by @anneappert.bsky.social. PLUS, the cover has actual glitter ✨

Zoomi & Zoe and the Tricky Turnaround, written by Corey Ann Haydu and illustrated by Anne Appert, held up in front of a bookshelf filled with great kid lit titles, such as the Dory Fantasmagory series and Rita Williams-Garcia's One Crazy Summer.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

5 years ago today, Mika Song’s and my epistolary mother-daughter picture book about anger, imagination, unconditional love, and moonicorns blasted off into a world in lockdown, with bookstores, libraries, and schools freshly closed and alternative ways of getting books to readers not yet worked out

I'm finally reading this gem by @coreyannhaydu.bsky.social, and whew--it is a tapestry woven from heartstrings.

Wrestling once again with the question of how to process horrible truths revealed about someone you loved or admired? These novels by @debcaletti.bsky.social & @coreyannhaydu.bsky.social are beautiful, powerful, cathartic reads revolving around this very theme.

Why would you ignore me. Don’t ignore me. Why would you love me. Oh. Well could have just skipped all the therapy I guess.

I’m really really scared of my Spotify wrapped bc my 6 yr old got obsessed with Alvin and the Chipmunks this cursed year.

I am most grateful for curiosity. It’s what serves me best in writing, in parenting, in friendship, in all of it. Curiosity and also the seemingly infinite supply of Love Island seasons.

I learn a lot about myself in the period of time that occasionally occurs between library holds.

Is there any feeling better than being deep into the writing of a novel that no one is waiting for but your own self?

Miranda July (the novel ALL FOURS) and Reshma Saujani (the podcast MY SO CALLED MIDLIFE) are out here making midlife cool. What other creators are making peri/menopause and midlife content central instead of hidden? This is a 2024 trend I can actually get behind.

Just a friendly reminder to put making a doctors appointment and keeping a doctors appointment as two different items on your to do list so that you can experience the dopamine hit of crossing something off once you’ve recovered from the horrible reality of talking on a phone to a about schedules.

The end of Twitter is an interesting opportunity for me (maybe you too?) to consider what it is I even want social media to be at this point. I don’t have an answer yet.

Im here but also on substack where I write about creativity and parenting and, lately, poetry while I try to process the election. I’m here for book and podcast recs, reality tv chatter, the space between earnest and self deprecating open.substack.com/pub/coreyann...

I had a book come out yesterday. I have a party for it next week at the Atlantic Ave Brooklyn barges and noble (9/28 at 630 in conversation with Peter Lerangis!). Today I’m working on my next book which is a fairytale freaky Friday and I am happily in a sweater in a coffee shop bc it’s fall.

I love this quote from @coreyannhaydu.bsky.social latest Substack, which is always a favorite: "Writing is the mulling over of states of being, and trusting in your brain and heart to find something exciting in the mundane. Or the overwhelming. Or the impossible-feeling."
