Publishing/Submission Request 🎺 Begging for submissions for children’s books from Black creators that don’t focus on Black excellence. Just regular degular experiences, that focus on every day life, every day issues and the people involved in Black children’s lives. Ages 3-6!

#Illustrators lean towards wanting to do picture books, but there are many opportunities in children’s publishing outside of picturebooks: ◦board books ◦concept books ◦gift books ◦middle-grade fiction ◦covers ◦nonfiction for all ages, e.g … What did I miss?

#WeNeedDiverseBooks Check out our latest article by author Kat Harrison, a #chronicillness and #DisabilityInclusion advocate. She writes beautifully and candidly about the societal stigma and naivete surrounding what it means to identify as such: cardinalrulepress.com/blogs/children…

Just watched a BBC News (UK) interview with Prof Alice Roberts talking about her new book. Alice talked about her illustrator Keith Robinson and the presenters mentioned him by name. Bravo BBC News (UK), the interview was more interesting with the inclusion of the illustrators info.
