After our #WRAD session, a school librarian emailed me something that made me happy about #kidlit: “I always love to notice a theme that runs through our WRAD celebration, and this year it is that our authors did an amazing job Book Talking not just their own books, but other books you love!”

Just finished @barbaradee.bsky.social’s Maybe He Just Likes You. I’ve never read a book that was SO true to the voice of a young teen, and the subtleties of the big problem so perfectly landed. Can’t wait to hear what my book club girls thought! This book makes me push to be a better writer.
