This is not one of those too-sweet, super-cheesy “mommy loves you” books. It is rife with action, nature, and beauty, and shows the companionship of a parent and child in a truly refreshing way!

A poem, a proclamation, turned into a #picturebook—this is a special one. Not for the average 4-8 reader, but for #educators to use with middle- or high-schoolers. A rich, captivating, empowering example of the possibilities for #kidlit beyond traditional rules and categories!

The way Jacqueline Woodson took a serious, difficult concept, and spun it into a relatable story for young readers with a universal message in a non-preachy way, is simply masterful and beautiful. She is the queen! #kidlit #picturebook

I’m still thinking about Wednesday’s fantastic webinar with Elizabeth Law through Rosie J. Pova 💫 Pre-order SALLY'S MUSICAL TALE 🐍 about revising for pacing and plot. The mentor texts were so good I couldn’t order them from the library fast enough (& some not even out yet!). I have renewed energy to revise!
