Last days to bid on a 12x12 Picture Book Challenge membership! This year’s proceeds will support LKBF’s free literacy programs, as well as rebuilding school and classroom library shelves impacted by the California fires.

As seen at Kindling Words retreat. ❤️

Spending this weekend with passionate, talented writers, artists, and editors dedicated to making beautiful (necessary, funny, transformative) books for kids was the salve my soul needed. Thank you, all, for your grace and generosity. ❤️

Found another way to divest support from Amazon. Ditched my Goodreads account for StoryGraph. It’s got nifty pie graphs & charts to make my nerdy reading heart happy AND it is Black-woman owned!! You can import your Goodreads data if you want. Find me there! app.thestorygraph.com/profile/aade...
