A brief return to #eloisereads because I finally read Tillie Walden’s Charity & Sylvia (and cried when I finished it, in a doctor’s waiting room). I am in the bag for Walden (go read On a Sunbeam and Spinning, do it now) and I was nervous this book would be fiddly or boring. It isn’t.

Happy belated book birthday to Stampede!, @jerroldconnors.bsky.social newest picture book and a total looney-tunes romp (complimentary). Jerrold caught me at just the right time to make a little painting for his cow-themed gallery show to accompany Stampede!, how could I possibly say no?

Rhode Island friends! Community Libraries of Providence (CLPVD) is looking for a couple new board members. I'm so excited to start my second term on the CLPVD board, and I think more people should try it. Maybe you? 1/4

Doggust day 20: Some things lost to AI. 📝 #doggust2026

A yellow dog is amazed looking at a poster on a pillar that says "graphic design". Below is a close up of the poster. There's a yellow dog on it at an old computer an the text above says either "graphic design is my passion" or "graphic design my is passion." It's unclear, due to the graphic design. There are several pull tabs below that just say "help."

Text reads: "I like every weird handmade poster."

The other night our smoke alarm went off for one second at like 3am. My husband found the manual and was sending me excerpts from it (because I had gone back to bed when we figured out the house wasn’t on fire.) Me, the next day: Did you laugh at my Batman joke? Josh: Not…out loud, no.

Screenshot from a text conversation. Josh has sent an excerpt from a smoke alarm manual that says “Hush (R) mode: The red LED will illuminate for 1.5 seconds every 8-10…”
I, hilariously, have messaged back an image of Hush, the Batman villain.

I'm writing a picture book about libraries right now, and it's SO FUN to basically author some pro-library, pro-literacy joy after the fucking last 3 years of fighting book bans. LIBRARIES ARE GREAT. THE PUBLIC GOOD IS GREAT. VOLUNTARY INQUIRY IS GREAT.

I've written with pencils for years, but I haven't given much thought to their manufacture. Blackwing sent me a video link showing how their pencils are made, and it's quite lovely - a step up from the typical 'how it's made' short. Now I love pencils even more :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fow-...

ALA Annual Conference was wall-to-wall wonderful and I met many, many smart, funny, charming teachers, librarians, and publishing people. It was 100% worth doing my best impression of an extrovert but I am now very happy to take my books home and sleep for a thousand years (give or take).

Graphic design is not my passion, but zines increasingly are. Im a featured creator at Cat Zine Fest at Cool Cat Collective. They’ll have hard copies of my zine as well as a clowder of cat zines from across the world! If you’re in Long Beach, I am jealous of you and you should swing by.

We cannot have a dog in our apartment, so I have been consoling/tormenting myself by learning to draw the most impossible dog on the planet. If I can keep the momentum up I’m hoping this will be a new zine in (realistically) 4 months.

I’m off to New York for SUNNY DAY! The show goes all weekend, but I’ll be tabling only on Saturday May 9, 12-7. Swing by if you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll be handing out my newest batch of No Room For Birds stickers (along with selling neat stuff), shown here outside the Providence train station.

Poster for Sunny Day, an art market that runs May 8-10 at 199 Plymouth St, Brooklyn. Tickets are $10. The market has: stationery, original art, trinkets, apparel, handmade goods, flash tattoos, snacks, and more!

Ok. We all had our day to talk shit and be angry. But it's Wednesday now and I'd love to encourage the kidlit community to focus on our real fight. There are now 2 book banning bills introduced on the federal level. 7661, which we largely know about but now 2616, too. It's call your reps o'clock!

Together, we raised $1,285 for my fundraiser for CLPVD (twice as much as last year)! And with twenty other campaigns like mine, we raised over $17,000 during Week of Giving. I’m really blown away by the support, and by the impact of individual donations for such a collective good.
