A wonderful new interview that teaches us a thing or two. It can be seen as such a crime, but when done right, it's sublime!

I know most of us are dreaming of warmer weather at this point, but I'd love to see PB submissions with ✨cozy little moments.✨ Think Eliza Wheeler's A COZY WINTER DAY, Devil Elle Kurtz's THE BAKERY DRAGON, and Steve McCarthy's THE WILDERNESS. #MSWL

Thank you Kim!! Your grasp of rhyme and rhythm is fantastic - I will keep working to get to your level one day! 🤞

I am so excited for this book by @briangehrlein.bsky.social! It perfectly mirrors the descent into chaos that my evenings used to (and still often do) take! 🤣🫩😴 (We have to wait a little longer here in the UK - it hits shelves Dec 4th!) #thisisnotasleepybearbook #pb #bedtimestories #kidlit
