Today I saw a rainbow wrapped around the sun! #SolarHalo
It's really special when both the top and honor spot of any given award go to your members! Congratulations to @rajanilarocca.bsky.social & @viviankirkfield.bsky.social for their #SCBWI Golden Kite wins in the nonfiction for younger readers category! So proud of you both.
I cannot emphasize enough that if you watched The Librarians and/or care about attacks on public schools and access to books, you need to watch AN AMERICAN PASTORAL. I'll write more about it soon, but it's a perfect documentary on what Christian nationalism is doing right now to education.
Corazon's Wings! Love this comparison of the top and bottom of his wings! cp

Sometimes the dog has to write my manuscript.
Thank you!
Thanks to Clavis Publishing and illustrator Lelya Lisova for making my picture book publishing dreams come true! My debut is now out in Dutch (look for English in the US this fall).
THE LIBRARIANS is now streaming on @pbs.org’s YouTube channel and app. Watch now and get engaged in the Freedom to Read movement in your community!

Your quiet reminder: Anne Frank didn't die in the gas chamber. She died of typhus and lack of disease prevention, while held in detention because the Germans stripped her family of citizenship.
Oh wow, this looks beautiful and important. @ardemp.bskyverified.social -- tagging you so it is on your radar this spring in case you're interested.

Session #2 of Picture Book Creators Conference is happening now and is amazing! @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social @chelseatornetto.bsky.social @annettewhipple.bsky.social & Ivan Taurisano Thank you!
Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.
The white house, a gaping wound in the east wing. It looks like a ruin or a mound of garbage
No image has ever spoken so succinctly about the current situation in the US.
For all my #kidlit author friends out there! A school cancelled this author's school visit bc of DEI-related nonsense. Her contract protected her. www.slj.com/story/My-Sch...
Holy #ROC #peregrine stuffed crop! I don't think Nova could squeeze another bite into them!
This week's news from the IMLS should be a reminder that America 250 is a real thing and it should be a call to even more action. We're about to be hit with propaganda through our educational institutions, "American public": buttondown.com/wellsourced/...
the cover for RIVERKEEPER, PROTECTING AN AMERICAN RIVER by Nancy F Castaldo, featuring a stylish underwater illustration of three whales and various other underwater creatures with a boat on top and divers
The cover for the picture book WHALES IN THE CITY by Nancy F Castaldo, illus by Chuck Groenink, featuring a large whale breaching in front of a skyline of NYC
the cover for HISTORY SMASHERS: EARTH DAY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, featuring a graphic novel style illustration of a penguin looking weirded out as a diver rubs soap on a bottlenose dolphin, while an oil derrick pollutes in the background. the dolphin has a speech bubble that says "There's a lot more to this story."
Celebrate EARTH DAY with books! @nancycastaldobooks.bsky.social's RIVERKEEPER (MG NF) & WHALES IN THE CITY (PB) both feature the formerly polluted Hudson; how we fixed it and continue to protect it. And @katemessner.com's new HISTORY SMASHERS gives the real deal about Earth Day & the Environment! 🍃
Due process is fundamental to our democracy.
That's why Kilmar’s case is important—if he'd received it, he wouldn’t be in a Salvadoran jail.
If Trump successfully disappears Kilmar, he will do it to anyone.
Why is he afraid of proving that Kilmar is a member of MS-13 in court?

Van Holen should receive an enormous amount of credit for this, because we need to summon an elemental force more powerful than anything Trump wields: the ego of US senators.
We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
