#picturebooks MY TEACHER IS A MONSTER! text and art by Peter Brown is from 2014, but I read it today for first time. It’s SO FUN and delightful! It’s got humor AND heart. People often claim that, but this one delivers. Watch the teacher’s face change over the story. Brilliant!

#@AirlieAnderson #picturebook ONLY: THE BIRD WHO LIKED BEING ALONE, written and illustrated by Airlie Anderson is a very sweet friendship book about accepting our friends as they are, but both friends growing and stepping out of their comfort zone a bit.

#PictureBooks Just read a picture book from 2018– BENJI, THE BAD DAY, AND ME by Sally J. Pla, illustrated by Ken Min. What a sweet story of an autistic brother showing kindness and compassion to his big brother. It was beautiful!

#@BTeckentrup #picture books Just read SOMEWHERE FOR LITTLE BEAR by Britta Teckentrup. It’s amazing! The pictures are great and the story is lovely! The subtext is incredible— it tells of welcoming immigrants and how sad and hard it is to flee a place you love and find a new home

#@nessadeeart #picturebooks Just read a really cute story, THE KING PENGUIN, written and illustrated by Vanessa Roeder. It’s a fun story with delightful art!

@vickyweberbooks Oh my! Agents should make a blacklist to warn each other about these type of people. I have received many rejections, and yours are nicer than most! Obviously, it’s not you who did anything wrong. If a writer can’t deal with rejections, they are in the wrong field!

@charliersmith1 You look great! Some people are just jerks! Keep smiling!
