The Memory Cake is a little over a month old! ☺️

"Sharing the little-known history of the ‘Siege of Malta,’ this gentle picture book celebrates all who dream of peaceful futures during times of war and uncertainty, and encourages readers to share family stories and memories—even the difficult ones."

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.

Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

Letter from Gaza: The Nakba We Are Living Through "I have now become a refugee twice over: once from our historic village of Barbara, and now from Jabaliya."

"Letter from Gaza: The Nakba We Are Living Through"

Powerful story from Hamza Salha on how he and his family were forced to flee their home in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza to head for an unknown fate as Israel expands its attacks.

Aww thanks, Kate! Honored to be working with you on this sweet series!

Cover art shows an adorable baby Eastern screech owl with huge eyes sitting in the grass and a girl and boy approaching through the brush, with the boy carrying a shoe box.

Cover art for our new WILDLIFE RESCUE chapter book series with @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social is by the amazing @artofjen.bsky.social, and I promise you the interior illustrations are just as amazing!

If you'll be at #TXLA25 this week, there will be some ARCs of book 1 at the Bloomsbury booth!

Word is if you visit the @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social booth at #TLA25 and boop this tiny otter's nose, you
*might* get an ARC of the first title in our new WILDLIFE RESCUE chapter book series! (while they last!)

(Note: You should boop the cover art; sadly, there will not be a live otter.)

Aw so exciting!! Everyone is going to love meeting Bevvy and Cat! It was a pleasure reading this magical story and illustrating your cover! ✨❤️

Book cover illustration for Michelle Knudsen's forthcoming middle grade fantasy novel, INTO THE WILD MAGIC. The beautiful illustration shows two eleven-year-old girls, one (whose name is Bevvy, FYI) who has dirty blond hair that hangs just above shoulder length and is holding a kitten, the other (whose name is Cat) who has long dark hair swept into a messy ponytail. A fox with a slightly smirky half-smile peers from beside Cat. A big, majestic tree stands just behind the girls, and tiny lights seem to glow among the leaves. Cat is holding one hand out in front of her, and a circle of light emanates from it, forming the oval shape of something magical ... maybe a portal to another world??? There is an ominous shadowy figure lurking behind a smaller tree in the background. 

I am so excited to share the cover of my next middle grade fantasy novel, INTO THE WILD MAGIC, coming this August! Please admire the gorgeous illustration by @artofjen.bsky.social. 😍

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!

This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

Aw thanks!

Thank you!
