You know it’s going to be one of those days when your 4yr old wants their milk, both cold and warm 🙃

No problem! Out comes the magic wand.

Jabari Tries x To Make

Sarafina wants to make beautiful pottery just like Daddy. So, she thwack, thuds, and slaps until... "Ta-da!" 🙌

But when she wants to take a glimpse of her almost-finished pot a little too soon... CRASH! 🥹
Will she have the courage to start again?

I created some #skypitch feeds to help browse the hashtag. One that sorts posts in chronological order, one that sorts by number of likes, and one that sorts by most replies. Click FEEDS on my profile to check them out. bsky.app/profile/skyp...

Calling all picture book #authors #agents #editors #publishers read more about #Skypitch in the link below. This event has so much potential, but it will only be successful if the “buy in” is there for this (free) event.

Feeds VS Lists!

Yeah I know it's confusing! Brian explains the difference! With pictures!!!

#kidlit #kidlitart
I've seen basic questions re LISTS and FEEDS.

Everyone can create LISTS of users, i.e. my list of anyone w/ kidlit interests, or
@charlenedraws.bsky.social's illustrator lists. Following a list means following EVERYTHING that all the people on that list share... 1/3 👇

Jasmine Toguchi was among the books included in the We Need Diverse Books grant to gift diverse titles to school districts. And now a Niles, MI school board is refusing to allow these titles to circulate in their schools! Please read on how you can help: diversebooks.org/letter-to-br...

3yr old tonight: Mommy my heart is beating.
Me: that’s a good thing.
3yr old: can you hear it?
Me: Nope but it’s time to sleep

What did your little ones say to you tonight?
