INTRODUCING…. PB JAM 2023: A Global Collective of Picture Book Rock Stars!

We did not see Marlene Dietrich coming.

Comments took a sartorial turn, as readers responded to the experience of Vicki Johnson, author of Molly’s Tuxedo, in “Disinvited,” SLJ’s September cover story.

Check out the cover reveal of No Purchse Necessary, my debut middle grade novel, and interview on John’s blog! Thank you for hosting me @MrSchuReads!

We are excited to be working on a new title with the award-winning team behind #MollysTuxedo, #MacWearsatHat by @vickijohnson and illustrated by @gillianimation. Coming in 2026, this title follows Mac, a gender-nonconforming child who has hats for every occasion!

Welcome to the world, KAILANI'S GIFT! Thankful for the folks who made this illustration dream come true: @carynwiseman, @bunmi_ishola, @SoniaPersad, & of course @dorinagilmore, whose words made me draw & dance to the beat of my Filipino heart!

Day 14: #100DayDrawing2023 I didn't have picture books growing up so I read comicbooks. Filipino ones, superheroes/dark, & my happy pill(Archie).
Also a reminder that reading is reading, and whatever gets one to read(even the backs of shampoo labels), exercises our brains.
