@marianariosrmz1 @FedericoErebia @CKMalone2 Happy pub day!!! Looking forward to the launch party this afternoon! 🎉📚

[SCBWI East PA @SCBWIEastPA]

Meet @ericsmithrocks, who will be joining us at our First Page Center Stage LIVE event in Lancaster, PA. Read this interview by @KrisRashid to find out all about Eric and how you can connect with him in person at this event in September! https://t.co/d0VOjOXr2s

Just out of curiosity, comment on this post if attending or working at Uarts or PAFA was the reason you moved to or stayed in Philly:

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@ericsmithrocks This is wild, and terrible. So sad about UArts too.

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@PurveyorProton @newskag No, this one is community run by a UArts alumni, separate from the Town Hall

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@tetheredtoed1 @StreetsDept He’s a UArts alumni. He studied graphic design there, and is also now a therapist.

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@PurveyorProton @LRinaldiArt The Zoom I shared about is still happening Wednesday, but it’s community run and is separate from the Town Hall that was supposed to be held today.

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@ashlippolis @StreetsDept Yes! Different details, same feeling

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@StreetsDept Free open Zoom call Wednesday 6/5 @ 6:30pm EST, for University of the Arts alumni, students, staff and faculty to help process the news about the sudden closure. Open to anyone that identifies with the UArts community. RSVP to get the zoom link.

@StreetsDept I moved to Philly in 2001 to attend UArts and have been here ever since. There are some online community processing spaces popping up for all current or former UArts folks to connect.

@chelseaauthor Nice! When it was my turn to be the mystery reader in my 2nd grader’s class this year, I chose BOO-BOOS OF BLUEBELL and they all loved it!

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@NathalieMLB @HeatherCashman Very cool! We have a rec center named after him in Philadelphia but I don’t know a ton about him. Will keep an eye out for your book once it pubs.

@wendoodly @Kateywrites Beautifully said, Wendy

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

Saddened by this. I had the honor of meeting Katey Howes at @TreeHouse_Books & a @curiousreaderNJ festival. BE A MAKER has been a favorite PB for years & I’ve gifted it many times. I think Katey made the world a brighter place. She’ll be missed in the KidLit community and beyond.

[📚Heather P Stigall 🐰👻 is on other platforms @heather_stigall]

💔Mourning the loss of a friend today.
We, in the kidlit community, know what a generous spirit Katey Howes had. She will be missed by many, but most of all by her family.
My heart goes out to her family for this devastating loss.
May you be comforted by all the happy memories.

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

I’ve only read the first book in @TrentonLeeStew1’s Mysterious Benedict Society series so far, but Constance Contraire might be one of my favorite characters of all time…and I don’t think I’ll ever get over her reveal at the end of book 1. Pure genius.

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@JustinRColon Everything I know is from @HallWaysKirsten’s Honeybee PB. I remember the foragers’ dance the most.

@llavoieauthor Peril at Price Manor by @LauraParnum

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@fangmous @HighlightsFound Yes! I was just there this past weekend. Hope you make it back there sometime soon too.

@heather_stigall @LauraParnum @stepha_henson @BerrieTorgan @KCStrocchia @BookishAmbition 14 - we’ll be neighbors!

[Kristen Rashid @KrisRashid]

@LauraParnum @stepha_henson @BerrieTorgan @KCStrocchia @heather_stigall @BookishAmbition Oooh just saw my cabin assignment and am so curious what theme/creator my cabin is dedicated to. Anyone know if there’s a listing anywhere of cabin numbers with correlating themes, or do I just have show up and find out?
