Congrats Nicole! Beautiful cover art by @maxinevee!
Congrats Nicole! Beautiful cover art by @maxinevee!
I'm so excited to give you all a little sneak peek of the cover of THE SONG OF ORPHAN'S GARDEN! The full cover is coming soon!!
It's #internationalchildrenbookday Here are a few of our favorite children's books about manatees: Kobee Manatee, I'm a Manatee, This is a Sea Cow They are available in our shop: shop.savethemanatee.org Share in the comments your favorite children's book about manatees!
This Manatee is NOT so happy about a second-grader's portrayal of her in their school report. Follow along to see Manatee come to life and set the record straight! tinyurl.com/juck9ezv @CassFederman #picturebooks #kidlit #manatees
This picture book blurb, the title, the basic premise, the main character’s name reinforces how sometimes in picture books it’s the simple concept that can become the most interesting story. This really makes me 🤔 think. Will definitely order it.

Adobe has opted your art into building AI systems without telling you. You have to log into your Adobe Account to turn it off. This is maddening. I don't know why all these places feel entitled to use our work for free.
Excited to share! The 24/7s, 7 #kidlit authors, Dionna Mann, @DianaJunYiMa, @RituHemwrites, @J_Ann_Richter, @DebLakritz, @MonicaMancillas, @CassFederman, are gearing up to celebrate their #2024DebutMG book releases!!! Check us out at kidlit247s.wixsite.com/the24-7s!

Awww, still grinning over last Friday’s Westwood Charter Bedtime Story Jam! Erica Rich and her team put on an amazing event! The families in my room got a sneak peek at my new book Abby in Orbit, and I got to hang out with some of my kidlit faves! In my jammies! What a night!
If you ever have a chance to help bring authors to your kid's school, DO IT. If you ever have the chance to bring 11 of them at once, GET ON IT. If you ever have the chance to bring THESE 11? RUN! NOW! GO! Thanks to this #kidlit superstar crew + @ChildrensBW_LA!📚🙏🎉
Gosh I missed the energy of IN-PERSON school visits and IN-PERSON chats with my fellow authors! Thanks @itsericarich and @ChildrensBW_LA and Westwood Charter! Also, like @bshum79 said, you can get signed copies of these fantastic books through Children’s Book World LA!

it’s okay to take breaks, to take care of yourself and others, to get help, to deal with the metaphorical (and literal!) fires in your life. the books will be here when you’re done. and so will your readers—and your editors, like me 💙 🧵/8
It's #internationalchildrenbookday Here are a few of our favorite children's books about manatees: Kobee Manatee, I'm a Manatee, This is a Sea Cow They are available in our shop: shop.savethemanatee.org Share in the comments your favorite children's book about manatees!
kudos to my therapist for waiting until my 30th valentines alone to ask me over zoom “do you think you deserve love” like cool definitely wanted to be attacked in my own home today
@JustinRColon Thinking aloud, I will try to offer more advice and help on Twitter, now that I'm finally feeling better.
@JustinRColon I offer free local presentations to writers in San Francisco for this very reason. I want to make sure writers have access to me and can ask questions, etc. Everything stopped during the pandemic, but this year, I am resuming the events.
This Manatee is NOT so happy about a second-grader's portrayal of her in their school report. Follow along to see Manatee come to life and set the record straight! tinyurl.com/juck9ezv @CassFederman #picturebooks #kidlit #manatees

In a book FILLED with amazing art by @chris_d_park, I'm really psyched I get to share what is my *favorite* spread in the book. In the books I write, there's always at least one spread that I want to frame. This is that one from #TouchTheSky coming May 2024 from @LernerBooks!
My next novel should be about the importance of not needing external validation, and I hope everyone likes it and therefore also likes me.
✨Y’all, I found THE ONE!!! 🥰 I could not be happier to announce I am now represented by the fabulous @Jemiscoe of @AndreaBrownLit! Jem connected with my voice from PAGE 1 and has a vision that perfectly aligns with mine. A dream come true!✨
Hold. Up.
I watched this video 200 times on my couch, stood up, made one attempt at it, and am now in critical condition in the hospital
Scholastic has sent a letter apologizing, reversing the program, and redoubling efforts to combat book banning legislation. Thank you to all who signed and shared the statement which helped instigate forward momentum for Scholastic's decision. 👏
Publishing seems to be moving more slowly than ever--and it is--but it's still moving! I have learned to be especially patient and full of faith this year. If you are waiting, too, good things lie ahead but maybe not on the timeline you expected. Stay strong, and good luck!
When you incorporate every note from the studio, network, director, and producer.
The term “shitty first drafts” is actually a misnomer. Many of us, like me, have shitty second and third drafts, too.
@LakenSlate @kateallenfox @amandadavisart @Nathan_C_Books @jen_macgregor @Shyalas @devpetty @CassFederman @JStremer Hooray! I always knew you would get your YES. 😊
And to the many, many writers who helped me along the way: @kateallenfox , @amandadavisart , @Nathan_C_Books , @jen_macgregor @Shyalas ,@devpetty , @CassFederman , @SauerTammi , @JStremer … I know I’m missing so many!! Thank you, from the bottom of my picture book-lovin heart!
Congrats James Serafino on Penelope Weathervane's Grumpy Day!
Congrats @CassFederman on Gray Squirrel Loses It!
I find simple is always better, especially when, underneath the straightforward exterior, as in the case of @CassFederman's hilarious + brilliant GRAY SQUIRREL LOSES IT, it's not so simple after all.
This picture book blurb, the title, the basic premise, the main character’s name reinforces how sometimes in picture books it’s the simple concept that can become the most interesting story. This really makes me 🤔 think. Will definitely order it.
