So many #books are listed in the top 50 books of 2024! However, #PublisherWeekly, #KirkusReview, #SchoolLibraryJournal, #IndigoChapters & #CBC have their own thoughts on what #book should be in the top 50. I'll be #reading 24 books before #Christmas here's my list! #Kidlit #librarians #readingbooks

When ur book gets onto a SLJ #bestof2024 list!? But I’m just Ann!? #schoollibraryjournal #kidlit

Thanks to @fuse8.bsky.social for inviting me to do a Q&A for School Library Journal today! Find out precisely how this book came about, how/why the ending changed from my original version, how I decide how to best illustrate a children's picture book & more. 💙

I will let you know a secret 😊
Once in a while, I infiltrate Presentations made for librarians by editors, and I love it, I love learning about the books being published and the joy that the people in the Publishing world show and share ❤️

Oh. Hey. There's me there, with a wee star and everything! :D www.schoollibraryjournal.com/story/24-hi-... - 24 Hi-Lo Books for Striving Middle Grade and YA Readers #SchoolLibraryJournal

Screenshot of article excerpt from School Library Journal. Title of article: "Looking for a Twitter/X Alternative? Try Bluesky" by Melissa Stewart. Illustration by Debbie Ridpath Ohi shows a pony-tailed dark-skinned woman in a winter coat walking over a snowy hill and looking at cloud writing that says "Bluesky". On the far green hill, we see a diverse group of people chatting with each other.

And thank you to @mstewartscience.bsky.social for the SLJ referral! If you haven't already read Melissa's EXCELLENT piece in School Library Journal about educators & Bluesky, see www.slj.com/story/Lookin...
