Amazing panel discussion on book challenges in Toronto today, featuring author @robinstevenson.bsky.social, whose picture book Pride Puppy is (absurdly) headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Joining Robin were Michelle Arbuckle (Ontario Library Association) and James Turk (Centre for Free Expression). 💕

#kidlitchat A shout out also to trusted critique partners who help guide along the decision-making when there seem to be too many choices to decide! Sometimes they see things I can't!

TOPIC: Being creative means constant decision-making. Character, plot, theme, setting, dialog--everything's a choice. YOUR choice. How do you know if you've made the right decisions? Which little internal voice do you trust? Does decision-making fatigue bleed over into your daily life? #kidlitchat
