My next graphic novel, Snake Night, slithers into bookstores next fall 🐍✨

It’s a creepy cartoony adventure about two friends intent on decoding the secret to transmutation. More soon.

A spread from Shrinking Violet, by Laurel Snyder and LeUyen Pham, showing a young girl dusting her chandelier, while her friend Bird sings and flutters around the castle.

Guys guys guys!!

The entire digital F&G of Shrinking Violet *is* online. But I'm not sure whether you can see it without logging in...

As I bit into a persimmon today, I was reminded that it's the same season that my Oregon Book Award-winning story THE VERY UNFORTUNATE WISH OF MELONY YOSHIMURA takes place. Please read if you're looking for a spooky middle-grade re-telling of a Japanese folktale! #kidlit

@iramarcks.bsky.social We’re going BIG this year! 7th graders have already read more than 144 books in 5 weeks this school year! They want to get to 1000! #bookgoals Let’s see if we can get more than 100 more with your books! 🎥🦈📚

I’m so excited to officially announce a third companion novel in the ALONE series!
Publication is planned for Jan ‘27, but I need help with a title! Should it start with A? Should it be one word? If your readers have ideas, I would love to hear them!

“We believe that even—perhaps especially—in a digital age, books create a critical experience that can be created through no other means. Ensuring that students read books—excellent books, whole books, together in groups, often aloud to maximize the sense of connection they create—will maximize the chances that they become better readers, more knowledgeable students, and that they come to love and value reading.” —Doug Lemov, Colleen Driggs, & Erica Woolway, of Teach Like a Champion

3 members of the Teach Like a Champion team explain why students need to read whole books—even when it’s hard: edut.to/3IWhzjS
