Cover of the picture book, IT'S SPRING by Renée Kurilla. A girl wears a flower crown and lays on green crass, a cat is by her side. Surrounded by flowers and a rabbit.

I love seasonal #picturebooks, especially @reneekurilla.bsky.social's series. IT'S SPRING is such a delight! So much color and joy. (And it's a nice boost as I look out at a blizzard right now🤨). #kidlit

Cover of the picture book, BORED by Felicita Sala. A child lays on their back on a heap of clothing/ pillows.

Such a kid-friendly, relatable premise! And I love how imagination is the solution to the problem. A well-crafted #picturebook by Felicita Sala. #kidlit

The Picture Book Buzz - Interview with Jashar Awan Enjoyed chatting with award-winning author/illustrator Jashar Awan about his awesome new picture book - Loops.

Illustrating is so much like poetry: "...simplicity doesn’t mean easy—it means every mark is that much more important."

Interview with Jashar Awan, #Caldecott Honor winner.
