A little something I commissioned for https://t.co/tXYA5LthTB. Loved working with artistbynoon. She perfectly captured my fifth-grade hair style. https://t.co/kjWohqyXGv

@nikkigrimes9 Congrats!!!

It’s hard to argue with this because I was natural long before the curly cut was created. Thank goodness I don’t go between curly and straight styles. https://t.co/UnwGXBbzyq

Know what happens to kids who grow up with unfettered access to books?

They read.

They think critically.

And when they have questions or feel uncomfortable, they turn to trusted adults & have conversations that help them grow.

Try being that adult instead of banning books.

Move-in Day at Alabama.

You know what that means: Avoid Target, Wal-Mart, and all places capable of serving you food.

Stay inside. Break out the Zombie Apocalypse rations and try again tomorrow.

Thank you @NABJ and @BABJ_NABJ for filling my creative well, allowing me to introduce three student journalists to the conference, and awarding a fourth student journalist a BABJ scholarship. Congrats @ashleemwoods @UAStudentMedia @UAStudents

[Monique Fields @MoniqueLFields]

I’m so looking forward to this. See you soon.

@MoniqueLFields "can see a potential picture book in almost anything," can't live without chocolate and Twizzlers, and was inspired to write Honeysmoke by a childhood nickname & a question from her daughter. Learn more from Monique at our 2024 Conference! #ShineOn24

White House Announces New Position to Combat Book Bans https://t.co/QOxjInX5Bu via @publisherswkly

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

They won't call it a ban. Yet not only has my book been moved, but now elementary schoolers must request a copy from a specialist at its new site AND then also PROVE their reading level before seeing a copy. All these hurdles for a young reader just to access a poem in history written for them. @MDCPS , history is not ours to hoard from children. History has always been theirs to make. And the more they're empowered to know our yesterdays, the more prepared they will be to lead us into tomorrow.

[The Authors Guild @AuthorsGuild]

Illinois is the first state to ban book bans (@PublishersWkly ).

Some very good news. So grateful I won the scholarship last year. I may or may not be quoted in the news release.

I am so honored to share that Highlights Foundation has established the Renée Watson Cottage on its campus. I hope this space provides inspiration for all who need quality time to write & produce work. @HighlightsFound @bloomsburykids #ReneeWatsonCottage

Thanks for the pep talk.

[Monique Fields @MoniqueLFields]

@ainsleyplatt I hope that you will reconsider. I’m certain there is a place for you at the CW.

[Monique Fields @MoniqueLFields]

@beth_phelan @_DiverseVoices Thank you for all of your hard work. If at all possible, do not let go of the domain name. Is another nonprofit interested and willing to pay for it? If not, it could fall into the wrong hands and be used to perpetuate hate.

wish this didn’t have to be an evergreen tweet…😔😒
