Don't miss this latest newsletter by @kl4gm.bsky.social. The opening article by @zeenamar.bsky.social is absolutely fascinating! And the "There's a Book For That" section lists some great reads to celebrate important/fun dates in November!
Another post reminded me of a gem of a #PB —ME. . . JANE by Patrick McDonnell. It came out just as I started writing picture books. An absolute must read today as we hear of Jane Goodall's passing.
But if I may also suggest PECULIAR PRIMATES be me, ill. by Claire Powell. Jane's work inspired me.
One of my favorite picture books ever! RIP Jane.

The New York Times best selling picture books list for the week of Aug 10, 2025, with a link the the Rhyme Doctors, who help authors polish rhyming picture book manuscripts.
Readers love rhyming picture books! But the pieces need to add up -- stellar story, marvelous meter, and really good rhymes.
If you write in rhyme, we can help you make your manuscript shine! www.rhymedoctors.com

My son just graduated with a degree in meteorology and this article is spot on. These scientists want desperately to save lives, they've been making progress, and the research funds on the chopping block will negatively impact so much. It is so shortsighted.
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much!
