Welcome to a new week! We’re dreaming of the post-COVID days when we’ll be able to gather and learn together with you all. When your social distancing is over, what’s the first thing you’re excited to do?

Wow, so proud of you Hugh!!!

Reread the interview with James Marshall last night. What a genius! Wish he was still creating. Thank you for this compilation,@leonardsmarcus. I return to it often.

That moment when you’re feeling a bit down and come on this app only to see some ❤️ from two awesome friends 🥰

"My mother told me about a community where everyone would intermarry so the kids would get lighter. The idea of that town immediately struck me as very strange and very disturbing." @britrbennett about the inspiration for her bestselling novel, The Vanishing Half, Sunday #WandC

Just finished @WriteinBK’s Grown. I’ve already texted a former student’s mom to arrange a porch drop off! Riveting writing that draws you in and keeps you. Important story to share. #bookaday

I finished this book 3 days ago and I cannot stop thinking about it. It explores the question: What is it like to be a Muslim-American in a post-9/11 world? Brilliant, unsparing. Highly recommended. What a writer!

Through my tears, I attempted to capture @LucyCalkins's powerful words during her closing sermon. She's not only an exquisite teacher—she is a minister of truth. We must all keep showing up. The world needs us to. #TCRWP #SaturdayReunion

We’re already so excited for December 4th and 5th!! Can’t wait for the Latinx KidLit Book Fest! @LasMusasBooks Spreading the word! @nErDCampNJ1 @NerdcampCT @nErDcampNC @nerdcampMN @nErDCampKS @CampSocal @nErDcampRI @nErDcampGA @nErDcampNNE @nErDcampVT

This is my partner’s dream project. Healthcare is a right. Come through if you need to see a doctor, nurse, PA, etc. Prescriptions filled and everything. Wear your mask! We’ll be there early setting up ‘rooms’.

Today’s good news! #PiecingMeTogether #WritingForBlackGirls https://t.co/UeuYvMH6dl

We hope you will join us in supporting the local small businesses, The Hot Dog Ninja and Dodge Learning Resources, who have supported our conference these past few years. https://t.co/N3cKxg3Omh https://t.co/EEXO6BGg7j Stay safe, friends. We'll be in touch.

Update from Co-Director @LisaEickholdt: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nErDcampGA is canceled for 2020. Please continue to follow this page for updates. #nErdCampGA20

I think it’s important to remind young people of what they can do. Even now, in this darkness, they can be a light in someone’s day, they can celebrate the small things, they can take action in small, practical ways. https://t.co/KZl3A4Z0Op #MakeSunshine

Thank you!
