Valentiny 2026
When Susanna Hill O'The Kid Lit Contests revealed that, in honor of Friday falling on the thirteenth, the theme for this year's Valentiny would be SUPERSTITIONS, I was stumped. I noodled on several ideas for a couple of weeks, but nothing sparked. And then, as so often happens, I floated an idea with my dear little Violet, and when she laughed at the end, I knew it had potential.

So tickled to see Allie Millington win the Golden Kite for her MG novel Once For Yes. My daughter and I ADORED this book -- we laughed, we cried, we recommended to friends. Well deserved, Allie 🎉

New York SCBWI conference 2026
Once again, coincidences abounded at the Annual SCBWI Winter conference. Last year, it was a chance encounter with my friend's editor Wendy Loggia from Delacorte. (Incidentally, I ran into her again at the VIP party, and we talked about how excited we both are for Christyne's next release in February.) This year, I'd been listening to my favorite podcast, Middle Grade Matters with Shannon Balloon…

Made it to McNally Jackson, @mrschureads.bsky.social. I was not disappointed! 😁 I especially love how they shelve middle grade into upper and lower. Wish all stores could do this. And don't get me started on the pens!!!

Adam Rex is kneeling and drawing a picture in sharpie on a big pad of paper of a bipedal dinosaur with his head. Adam Rex is standing at a mic with a picture book, eyes closed and mouth agape because he is crying WAAAAAAAAAH like a baby.
