Volunteering at elementary schools is exhausting and sometimes demoralizing but there is nothing like having kids come running up to hug you and say hi 🥰

Pulled a muscle checking out a stack of picture books at the library. Is there workers comp for picture book authors? At least I have something to read while I lay down on an ice pack!

Our thanksgiving meal featured tamales, barbecued turkey and pecan pie. I think that earns me some sort of Texan badge!

Apparently my writing process this week is staring into space for long periods of time followed by suddenly proclaiming “ok, you can do this” loud enough to startle the dog. Also, chocolate flan.

@debbieohi.bsky.social is a national treasure!

If you’re a book lover you’ve def used her adorable gifs.

If you’re a children’s book creator you’ve def used her templates/resources.

If you’re a children’s book lover you’ve def read her books.

You haven’t?
What are you waiting for?

The best thing about coordinating with college student volunteers for our book fair is the looks of joy and excitement on their faces when they walk back in to an elementary school library for the first time in a decade.

@alechiadow.bsky.social guess what I saw in my library! And then @adriannacuevas.bsky.social pointed out you have an MG debut! It looks adorable!

Such a moving and richly hued book by @judithvaldesb.bsky.social and Carlos Vélez Aguilera. A loving ode to how we remain connected to our seres queridos (loved ones). Perfect any day of the year. #amreading #ofrenda #picturebook

Every few months I have to re-teach myself the basics. I know there are tons of templates out there I could print but things sink into my brain better if I draw them out w ink and magic marker. Nothing fancy but still fun.

Worry not, fellow latine writers, for we are unscathed by the bad luck of Friday the 13th! May the words flow freely today!

Some picture books featuring grandmothers that I have enjoyed recently!
GRANDMOTHERS GALORE brought the zany granny energy and a heartfelt message about everyone’s desire to be loved.
