I recently wrote a theme song for @sarahollyackerman.bsky.social and Alona Millgram's lovely #kidlit picture book CHALLAH FOR SHABBAT TONIGHT. Here's the YouTube lyric video with illustrations from the book: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEjW...

Something you come to understand when working with young children is that every class has a Matteo and every class has another kid who sincerely believes it's pronounced Potato.

2 more weeks until the 2025 #PBRisingStars season gets underway! Are you planning to apply this year? Cant wait to get started!

A four-year-old told me I'm not a grownup, I just work in a library, and I think I've found my new email signature.

I have been given some funding to build a neurodiverse library collection, Pre-K to 12th grade. What are your favorites?

Happy February and March Book Birthdays to KidLitWorks sisters @sarahollyackerman.bsky.social @sylviaichen.bsky.social
Excited for your books!

Thrilled to be on this awesome list with the first spread of our book right on top. All last year, I got to say "next year," and now I get to say "next month"! www.slj.com/story/34-sta...

Who here works in a school and is your bloodstream 90% cookie right now?

A kid was weeping silently in the library because he forgot his coat and would not be able to go to recess. So I convinced him it's totally normal to borrow a coat from the library and thank goodness I am the same size as the average fifth grader. It bears repeating: best.job.ever.

Today I was deemed best librarian ever by two kids who asked for paper and pencils and to play Taylor Swift on the desktop at a low volume while transcribing the lyrics which is apparently a thing the kids are doing, and 60% percent of the time, I truly do not understand what is going on in there

I have been called for the first time, Ms. Library, by a student who forgot my name. My work here is done.

The best thing I've done since receiving a copy of my debut is scan the ISBN in my library catalog. The cursor spun in endless, confused circles before everything froze. I guess don't scan a book that doesn't technically exist yet? THE GABI THAT GIRMA WORE will be out (and in library catalogs) 2/27!

It finally happened. A stranger on the bus asked me what I do, and for the first time, I got to say "I'm a librarian!" And yes, he did ask me for book recommendations. Only a month on the job, and it gets even better from here, right?!
