If you're new to Bluesky, don't forget to turn on the "Require alt text" option in your preferences so you get a reminder to make sure your photos & graphics are accessible to all. It only takes a minute or two, even for graphics that require a bit more alt text.

Quail snow angels make me smile.

Calling all Los Angeles authors and illustrators! 📣❤️‍🩹

What do you love most about your critique groups... & how did you find them, #PBParty? 🌟If enough of you are actively seeking groups, we can help put new ones together after the #PBParty finalists are announced. Let me know! Great critique groups are priceless. I love mine! 💖

Hope you've seen this and made some bids, but if not, have at it! Great items!

If you're planning to enter the #PBParty contest on February 3, I hope you'll sign up for a Ranking Party to help you choose which picture book to enter...and help polish it up even more. The deadline to join the Ranking Party is tonight at midnight: mindyalyseweiss.com/2025-pbparty...

Oh, Deer- it's snack time! Happy #kidlitpostcard day! #kidlit #picturebooks

“The illustrations in picture books are the first paintings most children see, and because of that, they are incredibly important. What we see and share at that age stays with us for life.” —Anthony Browne #kidlit
