My 7th grade English teacher (who I'm still in contact with today!) sent me this message he received from a friend who didn't even realize that my teacher knew me 🥹 There are so many awful awful things happening right now, but I'll be hanging onto reminders that the work we do matters ❤️

Did you know you can now pre-order my funny, geeky, feminist upper-MG novel that Publishers Weekly called “endearingly sarcastic”? 😆 “Mangan debuts with a spirited, layered novel centering middle school activism.” ~Publishers Weekly bookshop.org/p/books/maev... (Cover by Dion MBD)

Do not comply in advance. Leave everything as it is and wait. Are they going to review your collection? Read every book? Send a warning? Wait.

LGBTQIA+ representation in children's books matters. Queer & questioning kids deserve to see themselves reflected in children's media. And straight kids need to see that queer people are humans just like them. This is how empathy is built. Pre-order THE BI BOOK now! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard! Once upon a time in Korea, there was a tiny sickly stray puppy. A scary tiger spotted the puppy & thought she’ll make an easy snack. But the unexpectedly feisty puppy kept running in & out of rabbit holes in the ground, making fun of the tiger. (1/?)

Because of gestures at government, I would like to take a moment to remind you about this book that I wrote that is coming out May 27, 2025. It has a protagonist, Piper, who uses neopronouns... but that isn't the focus of GOING OVERBOARD. It's just a small fact of zer existence.

Such a fun school visit wearing my 马面裙, reading LUNAR NEW YEAR (by Mary Man-Kong), passing out red envelopes, & making dragons 🥰 One kiddo said, “This was the most fun day ever!!”& another asked if I could live in their classroom and draw books all the time 😂 ➡️ michellejingchan.com/author-visits

Happy Seol! It’s Year of Snake so I thought I’d share a Korean folktale about a snake husband. See if you recognise this story from your culture 👇 Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived an old couple who wished for a baby for decades… #LunarNewYear #YearOfSnake #kidlitart #kidlituk

I got to read an arc of Stacey Byer's newest book WILL AND KRILL and it was sooo CUTE. A tiny whale makes a tinier friend and a huge impact in this adorable, beautifully rendered tale about using your voice, no matter how small. Great for both big and little readers. Out June 10th!

Do yourself a favor & get your hands on a copy of STAY ANGRY, LITTLE GIRL, by Madeleine L'Engle and @michellieart.bsky.social, ASAP. Anger is a normal human emotion, and an understandable reaction to injustice. And girls in particular are heavily discouraged from feeling it. That needs to change.
