The plan is crystal clear: Republicans will finance their billionaire giveaway with brutal cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and the social safety net. The richest people in the world are working to steal food out of the mouths of the poorest families in the country. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Thrilled to see this book honored! It's rare that a middle grade book pitched at a slightly younger audience gets this recognition but MAGNOLIA WU is wonderful and this is well deserved.

Strong predictions from @fuse8.bsky.social this year! I would love to see some medals for THE YELLOW BUS, HOME IN A LUNCHBOX, TOUCH THE SKY, and BEING HOME, as well as NOT QUITE A GHOST and THE WRONG WAY HOME. I'm not sure I'M SORRY YOU GOT MAD has a shot but it's brilliant. We'll see!

A library parent told me that she overheard two of her kids "playing library" in their room: lining up their stuffed animals, singing songs from storytime and rhyme time, reciting rules about the parachute, and taking turns to be Miss Jenny. I have achieved the exact level of fame I want in life.
