WHAT? I'm so terribly heartbroken to hear that FRONT DESK has been banned in this school district. 😭@NewWombat Can you let us know what district this is? Books about the immigrant experience are valid. Books about POC are valid. We are valid! #StopBanningBooks
Can’t wait for the #1619project children’s book “Born on the Water” to live in the world. It’s the book I wish I’d had as a young girl, & a story for every child. In awe of my co-writer @harlemportland & the absolutely breathtaking illustrations by @nikkolas_smith. Pre-order now.
One of my favorite stories is still Ava DuVernay getting rejected from the Sundance Writing Labs and getting into Sundance after producing that same script. She also won the Directing Award. Sometimes you just have to shoot that shit.
From the Eric Carle Team: It is with heavy hearts that we share that Eric Carle, author & illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and many other beloved classics, passed away on 23rd at the age of 91.
Thank you for sharing your talent with generations of young readers.
This afternoon was a difficult one for our family. We said goodbye to our best friend—Bo—after a battle with cancer. We are grateful for the love you showed him over the years. Please hug the furry members of your family a little closer tonight—and give them a belly rub from us.
Remember Tani Adewumi, the Nigerian refugee kid I wrote about 2 years ago who won the NY State chess championship while in a homeless shelter? Now well housed (thanks to you readers!), he just won a championship and is officially a National Chess Master as a 10-yr-old 5th grader!
