Wow, today I’m officially a published picture book author. 🌟 HOW TO BE A ROCK STAR from me and @DanielDuncan is available now! https://t.co/IBgdMkbEEU
I am filled with gratitude, so forgive a little 🧵
What a joy to speak to @AffinitoLit about CAN YOU IMAGINE? THE ART AND LIFE OF YOKO ONO.
Why did I focus on butts? (That’s a question for myself.) #yokoono#picturebooks

🎙️ Had a fantastic conversation with @TCBRbookreview about CAN YOU IMAGINE? THE ART AND LIFE OF YOKO ONO by me and @yasimamura.
The conversation took some fascinating turns and I hope you'll give it a listen! https://t.co/81qoQ8xh54
Ono, now 93, told Tolin she wants to be remembered as “Yoko Ono, the wife, mother, and artist [...]I think most women are wearing many hats, we take all sorts of roles, and that’s how it goes.”

Lisa Tolin on the banning of Eric Carle’s Draw Me A Star: “What those who redact Carle’s childlike art probably don’t realize is that it was inspired by his own response to censorship growing up in Nazi Germany.”

They keep updating stories I wrote years ago, which is fine, but to be clear, this headline is not mine. Do not gift a 4-year-old. 💀
