Imagine a Pinter play as an informational book for kids, highlighting a natural disaster, and you'll have a sense of what author Mary Kay Carson has pulled off with her dual releases in 2026. Hear her words and see her covers! #kidlit ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘ afuse8production.slj.com/2026/02/10/t...

When our son was small we LOVED when he received books as gifts. Here's one I think your little friends would enjoy :) No bias at all.

SUFFER A WITCH is a memoir by @joymccullough.bsky.social, and working on it with her has been one of the most intense and rewarding experiences of my career. I'm so excited to begin sharing it with readers in 2026โ€”and to share the cover today.

Kidlit community, nothing fills me with self-doubt and disappointment more than these annual best of the year lists.

If youโ€™re feeling blue, remember itโ€™s subjective, and this year Iโ€™m seeing very few of my faves (the ones I didnโ€™t work on) recognized.

Letโ€™s all raise a glass to the unlisted!

Camp A feeds them peanuts. Camp B calls them tree-rats. But no matter which camp youโ€™re in, writer @nancycastaldobooks.bsky.social reminds us: squirrels are just being squirrelsโ€”and that may just be the problem. thewalrus.ca/why-squirrels-dr...

Last month, eight books were removed from Georgia's statewide reading book for students. It was teenagers who brought this censorship to the spotlightโ€“even though it's not their job to clean up grown-up messes.

Get to know 3 of those teens here.
