I’m not on here much these days but I still have kids books stuff to share so I started a little biweekly newsletter. It’s very light and low presh. First one goes out tonight after the baby is asleep. You can subscribe here:

someone asked me what kind of news I share in my Books For Young People newsletter and I said “important stuff” and this weekend it’s going to be this perfect windmill I found in an out of print Carle (this is a windmill tease photo)

I just found an extremely weird thing in an out-of-print Berenstain Bears book. Like, WHAT. Back in the good old days I would have posted it here and it would have got 7 Likes but now I put it all in my free newsletter:.

my next newsletter is going to have my Top 10 2023 Kids + Teen Books (in 23 words or less) and it's mostly things I haven't seen on any lists this year which I think need waaaay more love and it's making me crazy. that's the bait to get you to subscribe:

Bill Watterson has an illustrated book for adults coming out in October; this level of news (and wacky old books I find) are the only things getting me on here these days .The Mysteries | Simon & Schuster Canada (.

is this a David Macaulay time lapse author photo or is this The Beatles

latest newsletter goes out soon and has new Taro Gomi, Arnold Lobel’s weirdest published thing, a Justin Bieber / Richard Scarry connection I can’t shake, and much more (including random Scottie). subscribe.

RT @RabbitHoleKC: One little badger done and >20 to go! For our exhibit celebrating the Frances books, visitors will enter her house and in….

Ohhhhh I am so excited to talk to Tegan and Sara (and Tillie in spirit. gosh I love Tillie's work) in Vancouver. Ticket info here! .

it's rare I race to pre-order a personal copy of something when ordering books at work but this one, out in July from @Inhabit_Media, had me RACING. I cannot wait.

going to gush hard on this new Taro Gomi board book translation from @ChronicleKids in my next newsletter. speaking of the newsletter, @zoesees said nice things about it and you can subscribe if you’d like .

such a treat to get @Sabina_Writer’s gorgeous new baby in the mail (out July 18). second shot to prove the cover colour palette is very up my alley 💖

I can heed this advice so well at work but often forget as a parent (what's with that?) Top notch thread!.

this is so good / Betsy's Bologna dispatches have me fully back on here.

I’ve seen a fair number of train books in my day but this is the first ever Ghost Station spread I’ve encountered and it’s breathtaking (dirty stairs)

Bernard Most and one of my new favourite dedications has me back on here I guess (???)

still don’t know where to share this type of stuff but I was thinking how this is a perfect example of a picture book that needs to be a board book and it already is so I’m happy :)

shout out to Darren Aronofsky for mentioning his most kid-friendly films in his middle grade book bio
