Fahrenheit 451 x Extra Yarn. As beloved literary characters disappear into THE DUMP, the bookish narrator struggles to navigate an increasingly dreary landscape. When it all becomes too much to bear, he ventures in after them to uncover a vibrant surprise. #QuestPit #PB #Q

"'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.'" #kidlit ❤️ www.npr.org/2025/02/06/n...

What do these books all have in common? A history of being BANNED. In my #dystopian #pb THE DUMP, characters who have been banished never return. As the once Technicolor world fades to gray, the bookish MC decides the time has come to take action. #P2Ppit #q #contemporary

This Is Not My Hat meets How the Grinch Stole Christmas in THIS CHRISTMAS, I MUST SAY, the very unmerry confession of a badly behaved reveler. #P2Ppit #pb #q #humor

Starting kindergarten without your hero is NOT for the faint of heart, but maybe if the hero gives you his shield – and a little bit of magic– you can stave off your fears and forge your own path. Fans of Bluey’s “Sleepytime” will love AND DRAGONS TO SLAY BEFORE I WAKE. #P2Ppit #pb #q #rhyme

Hey, #PB people! Would anyone be up for a little manuscript ranking swap? It could include notes or stick to rankings only. I'd love some input as I decide what to prioritize when I start querying again in the new year. 😊 #kidlitmegafeed

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Matty has two hands and only one mitten. He can’t build a snowman, make an angel, or throw a snowball, but with enough ingenuity, he just may revolutionize the snow day formula. The Snowy Day meets Journey in MATTY’S MITTEN. #HoliPit #pb #humor

Belladonna hates blood and loves garlic, which makes her something of an odd duck in the vampire community. Growing weary of pretending to be something she's not, Belladonna must choose between going hangry and potentially losing her friends. #HoliPit #PB #humor

When one grandpa goes full Grinch and steals Christmas, who but Santa can deliver justice? THIS IS NOT MY HAT + “This is just to say” = THIS CHRISTMAS, I MUST SAY, a festive confessional. #HoliPit #PB #humor

Me, watching What We Do in the Shadows: Ooh, I would love to write a #pb about energy vampires. But how would that work? Me, before noon the next day: ✔️ I did NOT used to be this weird. Thanks a lot, #WritingCommunity. 😅

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
