Congrats to @ajirving.bsky.social and Cynthia Alonso-- the BI BOOK is a very deserving picture book to be on this list.
And thanks to @bookriot.bsky.social for featuring queer children's literature. Now more than ever, we need people brave enough to share our stories.

Check out the cover reveal for @vvjonez.bsky.social 's graphic novel, MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH!
Marty is a payaso (according to his mami), but now he has an alien AI living in his brain & might accidentally end the world. Or... save it? This funny MG graphic novel series is SO worth the wait!

#FolktaleWeek Day 5: Charm
Cheoyong, son of the dragon that ruled the East Sea, was given a high position in the King Heon-gang’s government in Shilla. The king also matched him with a bride who was famous for her beauty. One night, Cheoyong came home to find her in bed with the god of plague. (1/)

HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON! I've got three books out in the world that you can get your hot little hands on. They are great for kiddos ages 10-14 (but there are SECRET messages for older people). It would be SUPER COOL if you ordered them from your local indie bookstore!

#FolktaleWeek2025 Day 1: Night
There used to be no sun or moon in the sky, and the nights were darker and scarier. One of those nights, a tiger caught a woman who was walking home from the market by a lonely mountain path. She begged for her life, offering a rice cake from her basket. (1/?)
