Teachers & librarians! If you want to Zoom with an author for World Read Aloud Day, the list of volunteers is going out in my newsletter tomorrow morning - it's not too late to sign up!

It’s easy to see why my friends at #bookposse and I are such huge fans of author @nellcrossbeckerman.bsky.social ! Her non-fiction books are irresistible! And, she gets the best illustrators. Excited to share Forests. 🌲 @k04sk.bsky.social

#NCTE25 was unforgettable! Especially meeting authors I’ve long admired. Their warmth and genuine welcome meant everything. I’m leaving inspired and so grateful for this community. 💛📚

Books We Love Here are 380+ great reads from 2025 handpicked just for you by NPR staffers and trusted critics.

I may have gotten a little carried away with how many books I did for this year's @npr.org Books We Love list for 2025. I CARE NOT! #kidlit 📚👍 apps.npr.org/best-books/#...

Yay!

A sea of riches at #NCTE25! Can’t wait to read and share these books! #bookposse

“At that moment the (subversive) power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them.” #NCTE25 keynote with Percival Everett
