kidlit writer, children's librarian, reader of many books, she/her. LEARNING TO FALL out now 🛹 Little, Brown for Young Readers. Repped by Jennifer Unter/The Unter Agency.
In the midst of a depressing January, watching the Jing Mo Athletic Association do their Lion dance was a bright spot and made me glad to be working for San Francisco Public Library.

I chose 3 of my favorite books from 2023 to write about on Shepherd's reading rec site, feat. @erinentrada.bsky.social, Claire Swinarksi, & Christina Soontornvat. Read why I love these books here: shepherd.com/bboy/2023/f/...

📚👍🏼 Just finished @torreymaldonado.bsky.social’s Hands and loved this short (135 pp!) intense, emotionally satisfying, page turner. Will definitely rec to my library patrons, esp those intimidated by thick books!

Yesterday was the last day of Banned Books Week but unfortunately not the end of banned books. I love being part of San Francisco Public Library’s campaign to GIVE AWAY banned books!

The Highlights Middle Grade Writers Generative Retreat led by @erinentrada.bsky.social and @laurelsnyder.bsky.social was everything I hoped for and more! Here's our group photo in the rock word garden--my rock says "mensch" because I met a bunch of them!

I’ve been off all the T/X type apps for so long I forget how to post on here. But pictures! Pictures I know how to post. Here’s an inadequate one of Zadie Smith being casually brilliant at a City Arts lecture the other night.

I have been there (and am currently there as well) and I feel your pain. My kittens Biscuit and Lucky are my best remedies!
