COVER REVEAL: I'm so over the moon to finally share my book cover!! It's whimsical & bright and the scattered characters from two alphabets capture the immigrant family experience. Super grateful to my publisher @BeaconPressBks and the talented designer Louis Roe.

@kcengel @bowlga Ooh, thank you for tagging me! Lots of stories about Soviet parenting that involve ridiculous amounts of Tchaikovsky and Bach piano pieces - though not sure if that would count as a boy band oeuvre!

Exciting news! My website has been completely revamped and, to celebrate, I am offering a FREE Zoom workshop with @MashaDC and @irenawrites on "Raising Your Bright Child: From Birth Through College." Let me know about any tech problems & see you there. https://t.co/bOG2qO6yW3

Just seen Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich who goes on trial today in Yekaterinburg. Emma Tucker, editor in chief of the WSJ writes: “This bogus accusation of espionage will inevitably lead to a bogus conviction for an innocent man who would then face up to 20 years in prison for simply doing his job.”

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman 😂 I’m definitely bookmarking this one

[Masha Rumer @MashaDC]

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman This is the cartoon series Tri Kota, which is a whole conglomerate of books and toys and such. My kids still love it. https://t.co/Z9CklqjEPz

[Masha Rumer @MashaDC]

@bowlga @YelenaFurman @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman https://t.co/7L37WBcsZY Here it is! He's got short tutorials for a variety of levels and ages, from rainbow cats to Tri Kota cartoon characters and Minions and a jar of Nutella (all ages, obviously). Hope your kids enjoy some of these!

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman I also credit YouTube video series about a stuffed animal veterinary hospital with reigniting my older one's interest in Russian

[Masha Rumer @MashaDC]

@YelenaFurman @bowlga @willevans @sjaszi @zeltserman Ooh we definitely had Masha & Medved', but also Malishariki (they are so charming) and some Soviet cartoons. My kids still love YouTube tutorials by RibaKit "Papa Risuet" - it's art and cool animation with language snuck into it (kinda like adding shredded/pureed veggies to food)

@kcengel Thank you! She's just now getting comfortable with having her picture taken and navigating various scenes :) The family could not reach consensus about the name; finalists included "Ginger," "Musya," and "Pumpkin," but to now avail. So now, she just goes by Hamster 🤷‍♀️
