“As an illustrator, sometimes I really have to back out of the room and let the writing talk. Then sometimes I have to ask the writer to leave the room for a minute. If you give your pal the illustrator some space to maneuver, the book can actually have a little more resonance.” - Erin E. Stead

Kelli's pick is SHELL SONG by @sharonfj.bsky.social. "This book finds beauty amongst terrible trials with the grandfather's shell collection. You won't leave this book without feeling changed." See it here: bookshop.org/a/11334... #amwriting #amreading #picturebook #kidlit #booksky
