I logged in to #scbwi to vote for some Crystal Kite books and was pleasantly surprised to see that A Hat for House made it to round three of voting for the California/Hawai‘i Division! Yay! To celebrate I am sharing a little abridged gif- Written by @audreysbooks.bsky.social and drawn by me.

“If you don’t believe that the picture book is real literature, then in some level you don’t believe that children are real people. And that’s unacceptable.” Thank you, Mac Barnett. #ala25.
