Just finished this webinar replay. Not only is it packed with lots of great info on writing funny picture books, but it's also very entertaining! Thank you @taralazar and @12x12Challenge!

No picture book has brought tears to my eyes before, but this one did. Described on the inside cover as, "poignant, hopeful, and lovingly told"- it is very much so. Congratulations, @Derick_Wilder and @catiachien!

[Derick Wilder 🐕 🍑🐜 @Derick_Wilder]

So honored our @ChronicleKids book, brought to life by the amazing @catiachien, has been included among such beautiful titles in this year's Crystal Kite Awards! Special thanks to my @SCBWICarolinas friends!

Spent yesterday evening with this stack of wonderful picture books from the #PBSummit 2021 recommended reading list. So relaxing and fun. I'll have to make a date with books more often!

[Jen @jenhelwig]

@Writer4LifeJC Lol! I don't know... I think of the old Wild West when I think of Wyoming. Must be a connotation from a movie or something...

[Jen @jenhelwig]

#amreading #kidlit RONAN THE LIBRARIAN by @t_luebbe and @b_cattie, illustrated by @vmaderna is such a fun book! One small side effect for me though- I now have a slight inclination to say "Uff da!" when something goes wrong...😆

[Jen @jenhelwig]

@TAlanHorne First of all- LOL! Answer: literally, a pain in the neck (and shoulders)- neck and shoulder tension I could definitely do without.

[Jen @jenhelwig]

@TAlanHorne Marvel's Doctor Strange- sans hair, I believe.

[Jen @jenhelwig]

#amreading WINGED WONDERS: SOLVING THE MONARCH MIGRATION MYSTERY by Meeg Pincus/ beautifully illustrated by @yasimamura. Love how it emphasizes that "WORKING TOGETHER CAN ACHIEVE INCREDIBLE RESULTS." So true! ♥️ this book and now I want to plant milkweed all around my house!

[Jen @jenhelwig]

I'm glad to have this book by @AndreaDavisPink and Brian Pinkney in my library stack for #MLKDay today. Great book and fine example of the Parallel Narrative Structure. Read it! #amreading #kidlit
