As someone who's had several books banned, I appreciated this thoughtful interview. And, wow, an honor to have On a Summer Night included as a summer recommended book. Chronicle Kids Kenard Pak

Thank you!

Thank you! It's amazing to see Evidence on this list. One does wonder about writing a picture book about, basically, a deathly disease. But Nik Henderson’s powerful art makes that aspect of this true story not too scary... Katherine Choppy Harrison Random House Children's Books School & Library

Thank you to the incomparable Melissa Taylor Melissa Taylor for this lovely review of On a Summer Night, a book that truly has its origins on long ago summer nights when you feel you are the only one awake! Chronicle Kids imaginationsoup.net/18-memorable-n…

For years, Deborah has been talking about creating an illustrated book that allows readers to visualize Dr. John Snow's disease-mapping process from THE GREAT TROUBLE. That book is about to come out, and just received it's second starred review! Nonfiction at its finest.

In our great effort to get wonderful books in young readers' hands, nonfiction is a no brainer. Kids love to learn about their world!

I still think of the letter a 5th grader wrote to his teacher when we wrote letters at an author visit. He said, 'Thank you for helping me be a better person.' #TeacherAppreciationWeek Anne Schwartz Books Random House Children's Books School & Library

So proud of Deborah Hopkinson’s new book EVIDENCE for receiving its first starred review!

This is an important and evocative story of how we understand public health, introducing the work of John Snow as a detective solving the mystery of cholera #STEM #picturebook

Today I visited with a K-8 school virtually and combined images from Evidence! with pics and the disease map from The Great Trouble to help tell the story of this key event in the history of medicine and public health.

Thank you! Nik's art is so powerful here. Katherine Choppy Harrison Random House Children's Books School & Library

Our book is here! Honored to have co-written MADE IN ASIAN AMERICA, a book that I wish I had as a young reader with the incredible Erika Lee! Thank you to everyone at Quill Tree Books especially our editor Jennifer Ung, for believing in us every step of the way.

Thanks, Deborah Hopkinson, for the gift of your upcoming “WWII Close Up” book about the famous Lipizzaner stallions.
Heads up, #bookposse readers. Scholastic

I am thrilled to receive this starred review from Publishers Weekly for Evidence! Our #nonfiction picture book about the great #drjohnsnow is out this summer with haunting art by Nik Henderson. Knopf BFYR publishersweekly.com/9780593426814

Great list. I also think it's helpful to pair novels with long form nonfiction, in the hopes that readers will also seek out oral histories online.

Opossum baby season has come to WBF. Yesterday we admitted these 9 precious joeys. They're about 11 weeks old and will need another 10 weeks or more of care before they're old enough to be released.

Thank you so much. We hope, just like the crew, young readers will want to explore the world and learn new things. And draw, too!
