There are 8 picture books on this list. None were created by women. After everything we’ve been through the last decade, this is an enormous oversight. What @sljournal has just said is that only men are influential in the world picture books. And I’m not okay with this.

Is there a doctor in the house? Tomorrow at 3pm there will be at An Unlikely Story. And there will also be a software engineer. But rather than medicine and code, we'll be reading and talking about books!⁠ ⁠ #books #kidlit #autumn #donuts #reading
