Happy to share this new #literacies piece with @sarahejerasa.bsky.social comparing ways that content is suggested and circulated across platforms like TikTok and Webtoon. It was fun to think with frameworks of sponsorship and to talk about webcomics, which I love!

Two high schoolers wrote a love letter about their high school librarian and the banned books club they're part of. This is really moving and thoughtful and a reminder that kids know exactly what the hell is going on right now.

Why spend 9 years of your life writing a children's book? Because children's books are the books that make us readers. They shape us at the deepest levels & they stay with us forever. They're the most important books of all – and kids deserve nothing less than the very best books of all!
