Cover reveal time! @lynnorbontigao and I have a beautiful new book coming in April from @KnopfBFYR @randomhousekids and I talked my family into doing this silly video to celebrate.

Still beaming over this praise for STILL THERE WAS BREAD from the incredible @PatZMiller! 📚🍞❤️

[Pat Zietlow Miller @PatZMiller]

OH MY GOODNESS! This book is pure picture book perfection.

Every single beat of it is pristinely, precisely done. It moves effortlessly between time periods and generations. It has beautiful, memorable language. It has love. It has lyricism. It made me feel things.

It’s definitely a picture book I want to hug.

Way to go @lislhd and David Soman and @HarperChildrens. I am so impressed!

Happy pub day to author @lislhd & artist David Soman, and STILL THERE WAS BREAD, a picture book celebration of the traditions that nourish us, body & spirit--and the way something as simple as a loaf of bread can create connections with those around us. https://t.co/RGDzPY6Tjt

It's National #AgDay24 Celebrate by learning a little bit more about agriculture. All of our books would be good choices! But "Right This Very Minute" by @lislhd art by @reneekurilla offers a look at many types of farms and farming families!
