A book titled "Telling It True," featuring a typewriter and red and black text, lies on a dark surface. Motivational stickers are visible nearby.
The amazing Kirsten W. Larson (@kirstenwlarson.bsky.social ) has a new craft book to guide nonfiction children's book writers. She teaches from a wealth of knowledge and an open heart.
Congratulations, Kirsten, and thanks for all you give to writers!
I'm off to read . . .

Plate of chocolate chip cookies with chocolate covered orange rinds on top and a sign that says "Mountains of Chocolate" above.
Book THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES has yellow title font against a bright blue sky and shows a middle school boy with an orange backpack standing on a mountain summit with a Bernese Mountain dog gazing up at him.
I love that librarians have been sending me photos of the Cascade and Porter cookies their readers baked using the recipe from THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES - I seem to have written a book that makes everyone crave cookies!

GUESS WHAT? I started a podcast for #12x12PB! I'm GIDDY with excitement. I launched today because it's also my daughter's birthday, which seems like an auspicious time. If you're a #picturebook creator or lover, I hope you check it out!

Wondering what to do while everything in publishing is so slow? We talked about this very issue in the latest Picture Book Summit podcast episode. #kidlit #kidlitart #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity
