What an amazing afternoon @skokielibrary.bsky.social listening to @marcellapixley.bsky.social discuss her 2026 Sydney Taylor award winning book Neshama. A beautifully written, deeply moving story. A must read for kids and adults. A must purchase for libraries.

Wonderful, soul affirming week as the Visiting Writer at Vermont Studio Center. This experience has reminded me of why I write, and it has renewed my faith in humanity. What a joy giving readings and craft talks and best of all, talking with amazing, talented writers about their glorious work.

You are going to love Foster. It is one of the best pieces of writing I've seen in a very long time. I am absolutely in love with this author's work.

So thankful to have made a lovely new connection with the fabulous Lesléa Newman who suggested we do a book swap. I sent her Neshama and she sent me A Joyful Song I am in love with this gorgeous, glowing book on this Joyful day.

Marcella Pixley @marcellapixley.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

I thought that SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE was gorgeous, but oh, my heart, FOSTER by Claire Keegan is even better. The development and depth of the child protagonist has me swooning.
