Cover of picture book BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR written and illustrated by Grace Lin.
Children's artwork. Red folded cupcake liners arranged on black construction paper to make paper dragons.
Read @authorgracelin.bsky.social's BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR w/our school community based special education students using a @noveleffect.bsky.social soundscape today, then used folded cupcake wrappers to create fire-breathing dragons. Love how they turned out! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky #kidlit

I curated my first museum show, a retrospective of the art of @authorgracelin.bsky.social for @carlemuseum.bsky.social (it closed today) & wrote a curator's essay: carlemuseum.org/explore-art/...

The Grace Lin exhibit at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is delightful. How cool to see early sketches paired with final illustrations. And, as a Book Friends Forever podcast patron, I recognize that notebook cover!

I shared a behind-the-scenes look at curating a retrospective of @authorgracelin.bsky.social's work for @carlemuseum.bsky.social (a process that I found similar to reporting and writing a journalistic story). If you were thinking about seeing the show, go soon. It's up for 7 more weeks.
