If the quality of your work doesn’t matter—just the speed at which you can produce it—then you’re not making art. You’re making content.

@picturebooksummit.bsky.social 2025 was fabulous! Left me inspired and tired (in a good way). Thanks to the team for putting together an amazing conference!

FRAUD ALERT: I have nothing to do with these phony books using my name on the cover. I have not written a memoir or partnered/inspired any cookbooks!
Attempts to get Amazon to take these down have gone nowhere.

Weighing in on the egg conversation, do old eggs really peel more easily or was that just something my grandmother said?

And let’s stop talking about sad books vs. funny books as an either/or situation. There’s a reason people laugh over the casseroles and pastries after a funeral. It’s healing. And kids’ books that deal with grief offer way more than just sadness.
