TOPIC: The Olympics are full of plots/drama: ticking clocks, one-on-one competition, team competition, changing weather, too much available pasta, and more. So, how do you think about and add plot drama to your work? As a reader, what dramatic events hook you in and carry you along? #kidlitchat

Children’s Book Week is May 4-10 and the theme is Books: Get Curious!

I registered as an individual but now I’m pondering… how can we at Nimblewitlit promote and support Children’s Book Week? 🤔

Put a book of Emily Dickenson poems for kids (what makes it for kids? The presentation? I dunno yet) on my kids’ kindles today. Just bc I don’t love her work doesn’t mean they won’t. Also, I’ll read it too so I know what I gave them and then I can ask them about it. #Poetry #KidLit ?

Today's unsolicited advice for my fellow illustrators and freelancers #kidlit #kidlitart
Sending a follow-up email can be really important/useful.
A question unanswered, a simple thank you, a reminder or a new CTA, etc, sometimes that second email goes a long(er) way 😉
Happy Monday!

Does having one of your book series getting translated overseas for Swedish kids featuring a Black teen as a superhero count as Black History?
I think it does, and you can’t tell me otherwise 🥳
