I write kidlit and work in a jail library. It melts my heart when my patrons request PB & MG during such a difficult time in their lives. These books are powerful and complex. They provide comfort and bring back beautiful memories. They make people feel seen and safe. They are for EVERYONE. #booksky

Dear picture book authors, It's not you. It's the dumpster-fire market. More and more great manuscripts get rejected all the time. More and more great picture books go out of print - faster and faster and faster. You're not alone. It's everywhere and everyone and everything.

When I was growing up, my mom gave me “I believe in you/good luck” cards before every single basketball and softball game. Now, I’m 43 and she follows all my book awards/news and immediately sends me texts like this. I love you, Mom 💕
