NYC editors! I'm going to be in town 3/16-3/19 and would love to catch up to talk about your wishlists and my amazing clients! I have authors working on lots of great new projects and illustrator portfolios to show off! Hit me up!

I have nothing to do with this book and I love it. I've donated multiple copies to my daughter's classrooms and school libraries since it published. It really is a must-have for any elementary school classroom.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

War is a terrible and disgusting thing. Waging it by choice rather than by absolute last resort is reprehensible.

May God forgive us.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Every Republican president since I have become an adult has said we need no more wars in the Middle East. Every one has started one. And each of those wars has had a heavy economic, diplomatic, and human toll.

ICYMI, a nationwide book ban bill has been introduced in the States, targeting LGBTQIA+ voices, especially trans voices.

How do I spend my free time you ask? Well, right now I’m playing Fester in a community theatre production of The Addams Family. My Fester is a dancing boy. 🤣

And I’ll happily take any recommendations for removing bald caps because OUCH.

I love The Pitt. I did not expect to full on guffaw watching tonight's episode. I need a gif of that Dr. Robby double-take walking past Abbott.

Thank you.

Happy lunar new year ! 🧧🐴
I had so much fun drawing the year of the fire horse - using a much deeper, bolder palette than usual 😍

A Publisher's Marketplace graphic that announces the following book: Australian author-illustrator Sean E. Avery's DR. HOPPENFLUFF'S MONSTER, the first book in a middle grade series starring an evil bunny mad scientist who has a score to settle with Bunnyville Village; pitched as reimagining classic horror stories humorously for kids in the vein of Dexter's Laboratory and Dog Man, to Sarah Alpert at Norton Young Readers, in a very nice deal, in a three-book deal, for publication in summer 2028, by Jordan Hamessley at JABberwocky Literary Agency (world).

We've got a real hare-raising tail to share 🐰

Just announced: DR. HOPPENFLUFF'S MONSTER by author/illustrator Sean E. Avery is the first in a delightful graphic novel series for middle grade readers 🐇🥼 Congratulations Sean!

Paging @fuse8.bsky.social, probably Sean's biggest fan in the US after me!

Sean E. Avery is about to have his big US moment! He's a bestseller in Australia and while his books have started to make their way across the Pacific, DR. HOPPENFLUFF is his first deal originating here with @certainlysarah.bsky.social at Norton Young Readers. Y'all aren't ready for the hilarity!

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m an author-illustrator for children’s books. I love to draw color, texture, and whimsy 🩷 Available for PBs & board books!

Wow. This quote from Anthropic really is giving evil villain.

"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world," Anthropic said in the filings, as reported by the Washington Post. "We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this."

☺️

Y’all!!!!!! @dirtbagqueer.rocks won the Stonewall for ONE OF THE BOYS!!!!!!!

So proud of Victoria and this book! Huge thanks to @capaciousmood.bsky.social and @levinequerido.bsky.social for helping to bring this book to life!!!!

Let’s go!!!!!!

Remember in elementary school when we all stood in a circle and held a bit of the big parachute? We spread out evenly, each lifting our own little part, and together we made a beautiful rainbow dome? Right now, we’re standing in a circle around the world. Keep holding your part of the parachute.

Alex Pretti was exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights when his 4th and 14th amendment rights were violated.

If ICE followed the constitution, he’d be alive or the men who killed him would be under arrest.

Those who kill peaceful protesters are always remembered by history as the bad guys.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

There is no scenario where ICE should be detaining *witnesses* to a shooting by their officers, much less transporting them to a federal facility. There is no scenario where they should be ordering local cops from the scene.

We are in a very desperate place.
