Reviewing this BEAUTY of a book, Island Storm, for the episode of the podcast that comes out tomorrow. So impressed with everything about it. Color and light, mottled painting style, but really the way it’s less about navigating a storm and more about sibling love and independence and exploration. ❤️

Up until yesterday I don’t think I met a single #kidlit person in real life, not even @brennajeanneret.bsky.social. Finally got a chance to meet @jesstownes.bsky.social when we chatted about bookstores and shelving and marketing. But now back to my less awkward screen-based cave #KidlitMegaFeed

My library doesn’t give a confirmation page but I swear I just did it!

I will give a PB critique to the best (read: most hilarious) guess as to what I meant with this mysterious Google Doc manuscript doc. No idea what I was thinking way back in the middle of 2021. #kidlit #picturebook

I have not laughed as much during recording of one of our episodes as I did during our July recording with @taralazar.bsky.social. So excited for this one to come on Tuesday, except for you having to listen to me laughing 🫥
