I asked my friend what her kid’s hardest thing was. She said he was quitting everything he wasn’t immediately good at. The “learning space” was too uncomfortable. I cannot relate in any way. 🫠 May our Robots Inside be reminded today: how brave to even TRY! #kidlitillustration by Yiyi Chen

Sharing some words from my article published today on Confident Parents, Confident Kids. To be clear, I am usually an unconfident parent. But I am confident this is true, and I’m going to keep trying to be good at it. Read “Replacing Shame with Curiosity in Family Culture” below 🙂

I have some friends in their 70s. I couldn’t march at the statehouse today, so they asked me to make their signs. I’ve learned 8 million things from them, but here’s two: 1) You bring people in by asking them to do a simple thing they’re good at; that way, no one is doing all the work. 🧵

"Because we're dismissing kids," he said. "And if we think that children's books are anything less than real literature, it's because we think kids are something less than real people. If we believe they're real people, then they deserve good art." 👏

Gnarly time to sell a book. Also the perfect time, I guess. I’m grateful to be part of the #KidLit community- they are quirky, SCRAPPY, and they understand the power of stories when fighting for a world children deserve. We will never stop. ♥️

Self-publishing a #picturebook has been full of challenges, and I’m still staggering through the final weeks with new setbacks. But each morning I wake with a surprising persistence as I imagine kids getting it into their hands. It’s remarkable how a story will insist on being told. #kidlit

DELIGHTED to join the #kidlit community here & share my debut #picturebook! Inspired by #InternalFamilySystems therapy, I hope it’s a shame-blocker for kids who aren’t always sure why they keep doing things they regret. #KidLitArt by Yiyi Chen Out Feb 25! #Booksky #WritersofBluesky #PartsWork #SEL
