Congrats #PBParty finalists!🤩 I’ll be cheering each of you on next week👏 “Thank you” doesn’t feel like enough @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social + judges…for the countless hours of hosting, but also for showing everyone who entered SO. MUCH. LOVE. ❤️ The #kidlit community is definitely where I want to be!

I have been so busy (and excited🤗) polishing up manuscripts that I didn’t get a chance to write anything for #50PreciousWords but I am sending all the good vibes + best wishes to my #writingcommunity friends who enter!✨Thanks @viviankirkfield.bsky.social + donors for hosting 🫶

My list of children's publishers accepting unsolicited manuscripts has long been in need of an update. A few publishers have sadly gone but there are still plenty of markets out there. Good luck to everyone submitting at the moment! loutreleaven.com/2010/07/21/c... #writing #submitting #publishing

Happy Valentine’s Day to the wonderful #kidlit community!🥰 Sending extra love and thanks to the #PBParty judges for allllllll the time they are spending on the contest🙏 The teasers have been SO fun to read! Every story sounds like the next #picturebook I’d love to have on our kiddos’ bookshelf😍

Random Acts of Kindness Day is next week! It's a day to spread love, compassion, and positivity through small, unanticipated acts of kindness. Like, maybe, reading this book to a child and sharing ideas.
