Happy Wednesday! We created a starter pack of ABLA authors & illustrators just for you! We are HUGE fans of these humans. Note: We’re still adding to this list, which has been created by an enthusiastic assistant and not AI, so if you see that someone’s missing let us know! 😊 go.bsky.app/Rux2YKX

It’s the time of year when we start celebrating our clients who made it onto “best of” lists, which we love! But know what else we love? Celebrating clients who maybe didn’t make a list but made us just as proud by creating new art, writing new stories, & impacting their community. It all matters.

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone. bookriot.com/the-day-the-books-disappeared-school-visit-cancelation/

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.

Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

Educators: You can help show next generation the value of HUMAN creativity. When talking about illustrated books, pls mention illustrators by name? Display student artwork on your walls w/credit. Discuss illustrators w/your class. Invite illustrators to visit your school! #PicturesMeanBusiness

Cartoon illustration showing a classroom scene with a large poster titled “Our Favourite Picture Book” by John Writer, featuring a cat character in a red outfit. A teacher labeled “Jane Illustrator, feeling miffed” stands nearby thinking, “But… John Writer didn’t decide how this character would look… I did!” Two children admire the poster, saying “We love John Writer!” and “His cats are so cute!!” Hashtags at the bottom read “#PicturesMeanBusiness” and “Sarah McIntyre.”

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR. This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators. #PicturesMeanBusiness

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

Wild to think that the books I buy for my kids today might become their comfort reads when they’re adults, the ones they’ll see in the store or at a friend’s house and go, “Whoa…this just unlocked a core memory.” Anyway both their birthdays are next month and I’m not holding back 🥰
