Textured art like @mariemanon.bsky.social creates are always a "wow" for me. Manon Gauthier's latest picture book is ALL OF US from @runningthegoat.bsky.social. All animals may be different but we are all the same too. #cells #STEM #diversity canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2025/11/all-...

Book cover of All of Us by Manon Gauthier, translated by Michel Savard, depicts various animals made of cut-paper

NIGHTMARE JONES (out October 7th) has received a STARRED review! ⭐ “Witches, ghosts, arachnids, and more abound in this terrifying compendium of verse. Delicious poetry paired with haunting art speaks with authority to the darkness so many kids crave.” — Kirkus STARRED review

A copy of 'Nightmare Jones' sits in front of a concrete wall. The cover features creepy abstract artwork of red, blue and purple.

⚡ On our last #PoetryFriday of the month, we’re sharing a sneaky excerpt from shannyraindrop.bsky.social's forthcoming poetry collection NIGHTMARE JONES, illustrated by Cindy Derby! Available October 7th. 🔗 Learn more and preorder this collection: houseofanansi.com/products/nig...

ID: A poem describes the illustration beside it.

Nightmare Jones comes to town
with a bit of blood on his shoe

a green drip in his nose
a twist of stick
in his yellow teeth

and a snag of branch in his hair, black
stench of ash in the air

Nightmare Jones was a swashbuckler
in his day

A swashbuckler and fine dancer, that Nightmare
But a barn fire burned in his heart
and turned his soul to soot

Now you can always smell the smoke
when Nightmare Jones comes to town
