Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise.

I see you #kidlit.

💙❤️

"Read diverse books" doesn't mean "have your spinach before you get to have candy." It means "look at all these colors of candy you could be having right now if you had more curiosity."
I have gotten the feeling that when we say "read diverse books," people hear, "you have to force yourself to read books you're not enjoying."

Nope nopenope.

I cast a wide net and read books by many types of people, but I DNF like a motherfucker.
