There are 8 picture books on this list. None were created by women. After everything we’ve been through the last decade, this is an enormous oversight. What @slj.com has just said is that only men are influential in the world picture books. And I’m not okay with this.

Is there a doctor in the house? Tomorrow at 3pm there will be at @anunlikelystory.bsky.social. And there will also be a software engineer. But rather than medicine (@rajanilarocca.bsky.social) and code (me), we'll be reading and talking about books!
