Friends, I need your help deciding between two grumpy boss characters for a new book dummy. Which Bob do you prefer, Blobfish or Beluga? TIA for helping with this incredibly serious and difficult decision. (I love this career) 😂 #kidlit #kidlitcommunity #picturebooks

When I was teaching 7th grade a student’s dad came up to me in the grocery store once & told me he was worried about his son.

“He keeps…” He paused here, and sighed. “…reading graphic novels all the time. What should I do?”

My answer?

“Get him more graphic novels.”
