The Academy of Natural Sciences was one of my most FAVORITE museums growing up. I loved it so much that I illustrated a version of it in one of the scenes in All the Greatness in You by @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social and @mackidsbooks.bsky.social! I’ll miss it. So many great memories. 💜💛✨ #kidlitart

Today is pub day for Prayer Is!! When my agent Alex originally sent me the manuscript, I was already excited because I enjoyed working with @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social and the FSG BYR/ @mackidsbooks.bsky.social team (Joy, Naomi, Mina and Hannah) on All the Greatness in You! #kidlitart

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

What to watch this weekend? In light of the admin's EO to erase the truth about U.S. history in museums, historic sites, monuments, & the zoo -- we recommend "The Neutral Ground" by C. J. Hunt on the fight over Confederate monuments & the Lost Cause narrative. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/th...

"Grimes’ simple, lyrical text depicts a sweet, relationship-based mini-adventure with a victory both adults and children will appreciate. [Cathy Ann] Johnson’s whimsical illustrations... are as poetic as Grimes’ verse. Playful, soothing, and beautiful. (Picture book. 3-8)" Thanks, Kirkus!

I heard today is National #Shelfie Day. For no particular reason at all, my shelfie includes a copy of Little People, Big Dreams' Anne Frank & That Flag by @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social. Also for no particular reason at all, my t-shirt reads "E Pluribus Unum, #ProtectTransKids."
