@Meg_Litwin I love this so very much!! What lucky kids and families to learn from and be inspired by you! What a fun celebration of books, bugs, and teamwork!

Sometimes, I hear people wonder whether anyone uses libraries anymore. Here’s the @sun_library at 9:45 a.m. Full parking lot. Overflowing storytime. Folks browsing, meeting and connecting.

Just finished SIMON SORT OF SAYS and 200% agree with @DanGemeinhart👇Put SIMON (and Dan's imminently forthcoming COYOTE LOST AND FOUND) on your TBR!! These two authors gift us beautifully crafted, poignant novels to treasure!🙌🙌

[Dan Gemeinhart @DanGemeinhart]

The blurb on the cover calls this one “remarkable,” and I 100% agree. A triumph. This one joins both the list of books that made me cry on a plane, and books that made me laugh out loud on a plane. Truly heartbreaking & hilarious, which is very hard to do. Loved it! @erinbowbooks

Just a few picks from my shelf that I book-talked after sharing DIRT AND BUGSY with young kiddos last week on #WRAD.

Sent them off to read, write, connect, and explore. 🐝📚💚

@kaitfeldmann Kait, we were so sorry and saddened to hear this. You bring such spark to our industry—your editorial brilliance + inclusive values and actions make publishing and the world better places. When one door (chapter?) closes, another opens… I know your next chapter will be electric.
