Difficult, even unlikeable MCs are so important in children's and YA books. They help kids accept their own flaws. Kids are often held to impossible standards in school, in church, at home. They need reminding that everyone has a dark, selfish side and makes mistakes.

Congratulations, @kauawrites and @Evan_Griffith!
What a lovely lyrical picture book by @diannewrites and @faithpray7 about finding gratitude in the ordinary things in everyday life! Faith's illustrations are warm and Dianne's writing is full of heart. I can't wait to share this book with the young readers in my life.
Honored to get to talk to E Train about books and publishing! This kid is going to change the world! ❤️📚

THIS IS NOT MY LUNCH BOX!, an adorable PB written by Jennifer Dupuis and illustrated by Carol Schwartz, is out in the world! This is Jenn's debut, and I'm thrilled for her!
Hee hee! @BDavisPyles is hilarious and clever. In addition to funny tweets (is that what we call posts on X, friends?), she writes picture books. Exhibit A: CLIFF THE FAILED TROLL, which was illustrated by Justin Hillgrove. So much fun!

We went to see the tulips up in the Skagit Valley today. It was our first time going, and we loved it!
My granddog Wilma came to visit. Simon has mixed feelings about how the day went.
HOW TO SPOT A STROKE! Today is my strokeversary, and in keeping with tradition, here’s a little graphic I made, because you never know when it might help you or someone you love. Learning the signs of stroke might save a life, so please read & share freely! #strokeawareness
What with the manipulated Kate Middleton photos and now finding out the dog wasn’t really clapping, I don’t know who to trust anymore.
Can't wait to get my copy of THIS IS NOT MY LUNCH BOX, a PB written by Jennifer Dupuis and illustrated by Carol Schwartz. Jenn is one of the kindest people I know, and I am so thrilled for her.💖

Like #querying, submissions can be long and uncertain. Sometimes books sell right away. Sometimes it takes FOREVER (even for PBs)--and there are myriad factors that can affect the timing. If you've been on sub forever, you're not alone. Here are a few of my stats: 🧵
This is fabulous!💖 Thank you, @kellyyanghk!

My dog just touched my keyboard with his nose, sending my WIP back a page and adding "23" to the middle of a sentence. To be honest, his edit didn't make sense, and he didn't even put a space after the "23." I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I think he might suck at writing.

When you wake up in the morning and it’s a miracle! You can see all the was across the room. And then you realize you fell asleep wearing your contacts. 😬
@sarakruger "search it up"??? I freaking love this. incorporating it immediately to remain so hip and so fresh. (she says like a true nerd.)
After getting the Covid booster vaccine, it was necessary to have a corner brownie and coffee because that’s how we roll.
The Jasmine at my sister’s house is blooming and it smells ✨incredible✨

Seen on my walk.
@JessHinrichs Baths. Getting outside. Watching a comfort show.
Difficult, even unlikeable MCs are so important in children's and YA books. They help kids accept their own flaws. Kids are often held to impossible standards in school, in church, at home. They need reminding that everyone has a dark, selfish side and makes mistakes.
What are your feelings about books with intentionally unlikeable MCs? I see a lot of low ratings for books because the MC is unlikeable but sometimes that's the point of the book? You're not supposed to like them so the author has done their job well? Please share your thoughts!
Congrats Kaija!
So grateful to @JrLibraryGuild for the honor of selecting my debut novel! @nancyrosep @penguinkids @diversebooks @TinyActivists #MGNovel #versenovel ❤️🎉❤️

On my hardest days in academia, I’m reminded of the power of representation & the impact of my presence. For many Black girls, I am the 1st Black woman professor they’ve ever had, so when they see me, they don’t just see what I’ve done but what THEY can do. They are my “why”(3/3)
@erinentrada This is Zara…she was a gorgeous Great Dane I got as a puppy in 2018. In 2022, she died because of vet negligence. She was so precious, it completely broke my heart and I think about her all the time. She was perfectly trained, I did so much work her because my thinking is if you…
@erinentrada I'm so sorry, Erin. My sweet little bichon frise, Charlie, was the best boy. He made friends with everyone. Once at the dog park next to the Intrepid Museum in NYC he almost left with a German tourist he befriended. Writing my picture book WAYS TO PLAY was my way of honoring him.
@erinentrada This wild beast, Barnaby, enlivened my life for many years. He didn’t live that long, but he burned so very bright. I knew my heart was going to be sore when he died, and it was, but it was worth it to have him with us for a while. 🙂
Someone needs to get all the Megans, Meagans, and Meghans, in a room and finally figure this mess out.
@dawnsimon They’ve survived the drops below freezing; I hope the other plants have as well.
