"I love multilingual books, and KENDE! KENDE! KENDE! has more languages than most. The main text is in French and English, with Lolie and her family’s dialogue in Lingala" @andreaywang.bsky.social 🤗📚 #PictureBookBuilders review + resources: picturebookbuilders.com/2024/11/kend... #kidlit #edusky

Okay, I’m finally back on here after a long hiatus. Thanks to everyone who followed me and I hope to get caught up soon!

Just finished reading this gem of a book. A group of kids who think they are all the same because of a shared culture learn they all have their own unique experiences that should be respected. Seems like a message the adults of the world could use right about now.

It's SUMMER AT SQUEE's book birthday! I'm so excited to share this MG with readers! Get ready for summer camp hijinks & heartfelt convos with Phoenny & her Squad! Huge thanks to Joanna Cárdenas, Kokila Books, PRH, and @agentemurph.bsky.social for believing in this book. Launch event info below! 🎉

Hooray! LULI AND THE LANGUAGE OF TEA by me and @yumhyewon has been nominated for the California Young Reader Medal! This nomination means a lot to me because young readers help recommend their favorite books. 🧵

Save the date! I have two launch events planned for SUMMER AT SQUEE – one in person and one virtual. 🧵 #MGlit #SummerAtSquee #booklaunch

I can’t believe that my second MG novel releases in just over a month, on March 5th! Order your copy of SUMMER AT SQUEE by March 3 to get a bookmark, signed bookplate, and sticker with images from the book’s gorgeous cover, illustrated by the amazing @karynslee!

So happy and honored that SUMMER AT SQUEE has been chosen as a Gold Standard Selection by @jrlibraryguild! JLG Gold Standard Selections are often purchased by schools and libraries, meaning that readers will have greater access to them. 🧵

Hey #kidlit fam! Check out my interview on Picture Book Builders today with... MYSELF! 😂(yes, I do like to talk THAT much!) Sharing my upcoming Passover book, AFIKOMAN, WHERE'D YOU GO? + a #giveaway! Here's the link: tinyurl.com/3vvwkypz @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social #NoaKelner

Good news from Texas! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Just finished reading an ARC of @andreaywang.bsky.social's SUMMER AT SQUEE and it's so, so great! Full of summer camp fun & pranks as well as essential conversations about identity and belonging. It's one of those books readers are going to finish and hug. Coming in March from Kokila Books!

Last chance! This event is tomorrow!

Yay for a lovely review by Publishers Weekly of my upcoming middle grade novel, SUMMER AT SQUEE! Set at a Chinese heritage camp, SUMMER AT SQUEE is about friendship, culture, and an expanding sense of what it means to be Chinese American. Publishes 3/5/2024 & available for pre-order now! 🌞🏕️🥟

Parent & educator friends, do you have a minute? My son needs folks to answer a quick survey for a group project in his business class. It's about a fictional toy product & whether you'd buy it or not. Here's the link: bostonu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... You have our eternal gratitude!! 🥰🙏
