Tomorrow is going to be a book distribution event for the ages. If you lost your books in the Los Angeles wildfires, you absolutely need to stop by Diesel Bookstore in Santa Monica from 3-6 to “shop” our selection of new and like new books.
Please share this thread so folks can find us. 🙏📚❤️🩹

My obsession, which was reignited early this year after many years away from the hobby, and which has been keeping me sane, is nano freshwater aquariums. This is my new little tank, which will soon be a shrimp home.

So cool! MAIL DUCK by @ericasirotich.bsky.social is my go-to gift for 1 & 2 year olds, and Good Housekeeping agrees -- they put it on this AMAZING list of the 50 Best Children's Books of All Time. I guess it's officially a MODERN CLASSIC?! 😍

I’m not sure there’s anything you can say about a society that wants to protect kids from Anne Frank’s Diary but won’t protect them from guns.
Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus,’ ‘The Fixer’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The district in the Rio Grande Valley immediately agreed with activists who said the books were "filthy and evil."

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, papas & grandpas out there! This is a spread from a little board book I illustrated, LET’S SAY HELLO (HarperFestival), which shares twelve ways to say hello from around the world. This one was inspired by my visits to Japan. 🤗 #kidlit #konnichiwa #kidlitmegafeed

A little peek inside my latest board book, MAIL DUCK HELPS A FRIEND (Abrams)! There are lots of flaps to lift & even more things to find as Mail Duck & friends collect things that will help their friend Mail Quail feel better. This was named a Best Kids Book of 2023 by Good Housekeeping. 🥰 #kidlit

Sharing something #kidlit adjacent—I often work for Highlights’ magazines and activity books. Here’s a really fun activity I did recently. (Prob should have taken these in better light.) (This is from their MERMAID NEON HIDDEN PICTURES PUZZLES.)
