Super way to pair books & notice authors' approaches to the same topic! Appreciate having this educator see the possibilities in looking closely at BEAUTIFUL NOISE & SILENCE SOUNDS SIMPLE in the classroom & at home! #music #educators #JohnCage @johncagetrust.bsky.social @randomhousekids.bsky.social

What a cool idea to pair these books, Laura! They're complementary & offer a unique experience for each reader. W/Nicholas Day's book they would make a great lesson in how authors approach a topic & what type of writing readers prefer. Thanks for choosing BEAUTIFUL NOISE! #educators #music #johncage

Dug deep to answer these questions about my 2 2025 picture book bios, Joan Mitchell Paints a Symphony, ill. Stacy Innerst, & Woody's Words, ill. Susan Reagan, from Simply 7's Jena Benton! These interviews w/creators are full of fantastic insights! #kidlit #amwriting jenabenton.com/2026/06/16/s...

Simply 7 with Lisa Rogers: JOAN MITCHELL PAINTS A SYMPHONY; & WOODY’S WORDS

What do a famous painter and an influential writer have in common? They’re both creators of course!

Right now I am seeing cherry blossoms float from the tree outside my window & thinking about the joy & wonder of a poetic image. Here I chat about how picture books are their own kind of poetry -- with 12 x 12 founder Julie Hedlund no less! #spring #PoetryMonth #picturebook #poetry #nature

Thank you, Virginia!! That Rawls came to writing after a difficult life was what made me want to know more about him. And Susan Reagan's illustrations could not be more beautiful and perfect!

For Days 10-11 of my PB reading challenge I read inspiring PB bios written by @lisaljrogers.bsky.social, illus. by Il Sung Na & @cgroenink.bsky.social, respectively. Loved how these books introduce kids to creative icons while showing how music & poetry is all around us! 💜 #StoryStudy #KidLit

Two book covers: On top, Beautiful Noise: The Music of John Cage. And on bottom, 16 Words: William Carlos Williams & “The Red Wheelbarrow”

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I do hope that Woody's Words inspires readers to keep going and not give up--and to seek assistance when they need it! Without that help, Red Fern wouldn't have been published. #WilsonRawls #WheretheRedFernGrows #persistence #kidlit #perseverance #goals

Rant alert re: misused homophones - pet peeve I wish I didn't have. Read my 1st adult contemporary fiction book in a long time for book club, thought it intelligent & clever. Then...the misuse of palette for palate, multiple times. The horror! The horror! Share your homophone horrors? #homophones
