The only time I notice that my glasses are dirty, is when I sit down to write.

Illustrated by the amazing Archana Sreenivasan who really made the book what it is, PS What's up with the climate? is a series of postcards that define the climate crisis. My editor @apkapping is fantastic as is hand-holder @MissGoobe.

@MissGoobe @payoshnis @bijal_v @TheDataAreClean It just jumped out of my hands. I was so sorry for breaking the glass that I forgot to be sorry for ruining sari.

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@MissGoobe @payoshnis @bijal_v @TheDataAreClean These reports are greatly exaggerated.

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v @TheDataAreClean @payoshnis You think Payoshni would've had Matrix-ish reflexes to catch the coffee? Well, to save her sari, she probably would.

@bijal_v And 'Adrian Simcox Does NOT Have a Horse' is a book about friendship, understanding and how kindness brings joy.

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v In Julian is a Mermaid, Jessica Love (it's right there in the name!) tells us that love is an open-hearted octopus hug where you can come as you are.

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v All the World is a joyous, wonderful celebration of the world, and always fills me with hope aplenty.

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v If there ever was a book who has a soul of love and kindness, it's Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.

Dissent is vital.

And the thread below is why I'm so chuffed to be a part of the children's literature community.

[Bijal Vachharajani @bijal_v]

Protest poetry from children's book authors. The brainchild of @coelhovenita, edited by Rohini Vij and Navneet Singh. Here's the first one from Samina Mishra and @shals_writ. #thread #protestpoetry #IndiaAgainstCAA_NPR_NRC

@MissGoobe @bijal_v @RichajhaJha @SudeshnaShome @speakingtiger14 @crossword_book Bijal, do you think this laughter is directed at my (lack of) camera skills?

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v @MissGoobe @RichajhaJha @SudeshnaShome @speakingtiger14 @crossword_book I have indeed performed this and no one but Bijal is allowed to see it.

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v @MissGoobe @RichajhaJha @SudeshnaShome @speakingtiger14 @crossword_book Yay it's finally time to switch roles, Radha! I will be your cameraperson.

@bijal_v @surekhapillai I ate some Biryani
It was biryummy
I ate it on my birthday
And fed it to my birmummy

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

@bijal_v @eyefry I'll be too Christmassy to have evil thoughts

[Aparna Kapur @apkapping]

Sometimes, Bijal and I have entire conversations in GIFs. So it seems like a somewhat logical result that GIFfiness would slip into our books.

At the same time, it's completely bonkers… https://t.co/4RSV73jrWR
