#24hourChildrensBookChallenge : #takeaways
This was one of the best #KidLit #amwriting & #amillustrating community events that I've ever attended online. Here are a few things that I'm taking away from this experience.
(I would also encourage more friends to try next year!)

Hey SCBWI friends in Houston @lynnekelly.bsky.social @varshab.bsky.social and out @samanthamclark.com, can you help spread the word about this local group's wishlist?
Houston's Book Fairy Brigade is
desperately in need of Spanish books, as well as middle grade novels and board books.

Every free book put into the hands of a child is an act of resistance AND joy.

Books feed the soul, fuel dreams, and offer hope.
