Just 2 weeks until this book of my heart enters the world.
I began writing it in 2008. Phew, what a journey it's had.

I learned the differences between alpacas and llamas! I love it when I learn something new from a picture book. :) Check out my review of ALPACAS HERE, ALPACAS THERE by @carrietillotson.bsky.social. @blueslipmedia.bsky.social #picturebooks #kidlit geolibrarian.blogspot.com/2025/04/wild...

It's wonderful to find a book that so clearly encourages children to ask questions to learn about others rather than speculating. kdmaz.bsky.social @blueslipmedia.bsky.social #kidlit #picturebooks #weneeddiversebooks #greatteachingbooks

"I hope that Mazie encourages other kids to talk about their differences openly and honestly. I hope that Mazie inspires bravery, because it IS scary to be vulnerable." Read Katie Mazeika's guest post at TeachingBooks.net (link👇)

"Growing up, I never saw a Native American girl like me portrayed in books unless it was an historical narrative about Sacagawea or Pocahontas. . . . I want to be the role model I wish I had as a kid, and my book is one way of illustrating how, despite my dyslexia, I became an engineer."

I recommend As Edward Imagined, a #picturebook bio written by Matthew Burgess and illustrated by Marc Majewski about a personal fave artist and author Edward Gorey, a "master of the playfully macabre" who lived his eccentric life authentically. Published by Knopf BFYR
