I watched What we imagine as light in the theater and it’s such a beautifully made film! The story has so much soul!! 🩷✨
It’s rare to find a movie that shows the complex language pool of India. The movie is in THREE primary languages along with short dialogue from more.
I share some news, paintings BTS and holiday vibes on my last newsletter for this year. You can read here :)

Many of us are working on proposals for NCTE25, and given our current situation, it's more important than ever that all panels include voices from historically marginalized groups. All-white panels don't reflect the kids we serve. If you need suggestions, just ask around!

A little Black girl looks out of the car window at Christmas lights with a sense of wonder. She’s wearing a knit pink hat and gloves, a red puffer jacket, and box braids. Illustration by Alleanna Harris.
I used to LOVE to look out the window to see the Christmas lights on people’s houses. I don’t see as many lights anymore (C9 bulbs take a lot of power and electric bills are high 😂) but I still wanted to draw something that had that same sense of wonder that I felt as a little person. ✨ #kidlitart

Happy Winter! ❄️⛄
An illustrated scene of a community kitchen during the holiday season. The walls are pink, with green and white checked floors. A group is making cookies at the first table- two adults, one child. A toddler is trying to reach up while a pig sits under the table waiting for scraps. Busy bakers are at the ovens in the background while some write lists and others oversee a mishap with the flour. Art by Abigail Gray Swartz
