This years #crafting so far

The first time one of my authors has received a starred review. I'm so proud 🥹 #picturebook #kidlit #editorslife

The Peacock who Howled with Jackals by Naheid Kazemi (Owlkids) #picturebook inspired by a fable from the Persian poet Rumi. TBH a really fresh take on animal allegory for identity and marginalization. I love this peacock and family of jackals ❤️ #ALAAC2025 bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Matisse Magician of Color by Derek Desierto (Feiwel&Friends) #picturebook bio on his older years & how he found new, unexpected ways to make art despite health issues. I appreciate disability rep & how anyone can create art with meaning no matter the form #ALAAC2025 bookshop.org/p/books/mati...

The Day I Met Big Foot by DL Miller, illus. Helen Flook (Happy Fox Books) #picturebook about making new friends & famous cryptid that blends themes of nature, exploration, being brave, & being proud to be different. THE ART IS SO NOSTALGIC & SWEET #ALAAC2025 bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

And They Walk On by Kevin Maillard, illustrated by Rafael Lopez (Roaring Brook Press) #picturebook on death & grief from a #NativeAmerican POV, accessible to any kid. There are sad moments, both the text & art are filled with color, imagination, & joyful outlook. bookshop.org/p/books/and-...

Scary Shark: A Jaw-some Halloween by Mike Lowery
A silly, pun-filled, comic-styled #picturebook with Halloween vibes a nice message about dealing with fear.

The Gold Leaf by Kristen Hall & illustrated by Matthew Forsythe from @enchantedlion.bsky.social A cautionary tale of greed with woodland creatures, hopeful ending & subtle environmentalist message. Feels like an old folk tale in the best way. Beautiful gold foil details! #picturebook #ALAAC2025

🧵 Free Reads Thread

I pick up a lot of free ARCs and books because of my job. Here is a thread of awesome books that deserve some love!

And got an amazing haul of free books 📚 #ALAC2025
Truly, check out these books, creators and publishers. I met some really awesome people

I got to see all the wonderful books I work on at the Holiday House booth #ALAAC2025

#ALAAC25 with @talovala.bsky.social was so much fun.

Got to have craft time at work with Yuyi Morales to celebrate her new book LITTLE REBELS from Holiday House! I love my job 🥰

If I had a nickel for every book I edited on the Bank Street College Best Children's Books of the Year list, I'd have 2 nickels. 🥳

I want to say a flycatcher! Can't tell which species specifically.

The serotonin hit when a friend texts me a bird photo to ID is indescribable #birding #birdwatching
