Once upon a time I was translating and editing folk tales by Russian Arts and Crafts artist Elena Polenova; it was lovely to see the two books, published by Fontanka get a mention. And how exciting to hear Sian Valvis is working on a second book to follow her brilliant “Kolobok”!

Dug this out of my TBR pile for a long train journey. A unique graphic memoir that switches between three separate stories and portrays the realities of being a minority in America. Worthy winner of the #MichaelLPrintzAward #LetsTalkGraphicNovels

I’ll always believe in this story! Diverse voices are needed!

If any agent is interested in a MG fantasy w/a biracial girl who travels to a Korean-inspired fantasy world with her bff, a cute baby 🐉 and a little forest spirit to save a Magical Moon Kingdom, hi! 🤗 #amquerying
