Kick off the school year with a celebration of all the names in your classroom with MY NAME, words by Supriya Kelkar, art by Sandhya Prabhat. And end the year with a celebration of gratitude with THANK YOU, TEACHER!, words and art by Supriya Kelkar! @mackidsbooks.bsky.social #teachers #teacher

Loved @halseanderson 's REBELLION 1776 and was struck by how well it paired with STRONG AS FIRE, FIERCE AS FLAME. Both are empowering stories of girls alone in the world, seeking employment in households, finding their voices in turbulent times, and making a difference, 70 years apart.🔥 #kidlit

5 days until my 15th book is out! I'll never forget the 13 yrs of rejections before my 1st book was published & won't forget the feeling 8 yrs later, seeing my 15th book. It's all because of YOU, friends, readers, family. Thanks for making this dream come true. #kidlit @mackidsbooks.bsky.social

One of my favorite parts of THANK YOU, TEACHER! Is the backmatter, where you can write your own thank you letter to a teacher, child, or anyone you'd like to express your gratitude to. This book is out in just 6 days, and available for preorder today! @mackidsbooks.bsky.social #kidlit

Looking back on the year, here's another book I'm proud of, one that felt impossible to pull off at times, yet we did. Thank you, Travis, for chatting with me about it! 100scopenotes.com/2024/10/28/h...
