Happy #InternationalDayforBiologicalDiversity! My upcoming #MGLit novel (that I can't shout about quite yet...) features this important topic of protecting species diversity and balanced ecosystems. 💚

One of my sentimental kids asked me to read this to them. "Because we always read it when it's going to snow." This kid is a teenager taller than me. That's how fabulous this #PB is. So of course I did and always will!

Ziggy's Potato by Sharon Sorokin James and illustrated by Helen Cann is such a beautiful story of hope! A gentle way to introduce young readers to #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay.

spicy cayenne heat
upside down flame casts shadows
sparks on white sparkles
smoky trails on blank pages
fire winter can't put out

Blueskyers, I need your help! I've got some money to spend on books and could use your recommendations. What books have you read lately that you absolutely loved? (Bonus points if they're MG or YA books that came out last year!)

We narrowed it down to four each that particularly resonated with us, but it was excruciating to do so. We have so much love for this issue and all in it.

When the news is infuriating, I like to think about kids reading books about community and empathy, like MAGNOLIA WU UNFOLDS IT ALL by Chanel Miller. Caught up on this fabulous 2025 Newbery Honor book just in time to watch the 2026 #ALAyma on Monday. Excited for that. 💛 #MGLit #kidlit 📚👍

HOW TO SAY GOODBYE IN CUBAN by @danielmiyares.bsky.social is an outstanding #MGLit graphic novel. I wish I could buy copies for every classroom and young readers' book club. 📚👍 #kidlit #empathy
