Thank you to the Children’s Book Committee of Bank Street College of Education for naming Nat the Cat Takes a Nap one of the best children’s books of the year! Nat and I are honored, and plan to celebrate by getting a solid night of sleep. 😴😴😴

This month and every month, we hope you'll join us in honoring and celebrating Asian creators with stories both old and new.

A glowing PW review:'Ending text considers the diamond’s being told it “should look different to belong” &its “being cut down, torn down,/ like a piece of property just passing hands,” hinting at a long human history extending beyond a single object—one that continues to shine'.

It's almost teacher appreciation week! Next week seems like a good time to reveal the cover of THANK YOU, TEACHER! Stay tuned...

Happy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, friends! I am so proud to be part of this year's book roundup along with my dearest friends and literary heroes!

I'm just a book, standing in front of readers, asking you to review me on Amazon so the algorithm boosts my visibility.

It has been 2 days but I'm still not over this - It is Collins Elementary School's book vending machine! And my books and friends' books are in it! Thank you Collins School and the Our School, Our Author team for this awesome sight.

Some book spine poetry to end National Poetry Month:

After the fall
A work in progress
A wish in the dark
And yet you shine

&

Brown is beautiful
American as Paneer Pie
Strong as fire, fierce as flame

I love how books and book love can make things happen.
I went to Anderson's Bookshops for the reading of Supriya Kelkar
's brand new picture book, AND YET YOU SHINE, yesterday.
And landed up meeting, not one, but two amazing creators - Supriya and
John Schu !

It was my favorite!! Thanks for being there!!💜

I forgot to take a photo of today's book purchases. I bought 7 copies of Supriya Kelkar's And Yet You Shine:The Kohinoor Diamond, Colonization, and Resistance that I gave away to children and teachers during her event at Anderson's Bookshops!

What a happy surprise to run into Srividhya Venkat at Supriya Kelkar's event at Anderson's Bookshops!

Today’s #IndieBookstoreDay purchase plus I ordered 3 more books that weren’t on their shelves yet. ⁦Supriya Kelkar⁩

So excited to see everyone and see you, John Schu!!
