Josh just referenced Homestar Runner in the latest episode of You May Contribute a Verse, and now my day is completely derailed because I forgot about that show, and now I’m falling into a rabbit hole of nostalgia.😂 @brennajeanneret.bsky.social @joshmonkwords.bsky.social

I’m excited to share that my debut authored + illustrated picture book, BILLY AND THE HOLE, arrives summer 2026 from Flamingo Books! It has been such a pleasure working with this team, and I’m grateful for everyone who has had a hand in helping the baby grow up. We’re almost there! #kidlit

#kidlitartpostcard day…we meet again. Hello! My name is Jessica Goecke, and I love to draw weird, funny things that would (probably) never happen in real life. For projects, please contact @christiemegill.bsky.social at @thecatagency.bsky.social

I’ve not read Gianni Rodari’s work, but I like his vibe, and I’m excited to dig into his books. Here’s a great video + post from Chrissie Wright about Gianni Rodari, what Mac Barnett says about him + the heartbreaking thing that happens (in education) when reading skills eclipse reading joy. #kidlit

I’ll play :) I want to see some dark art. If you see this, quote with your Night/Dark Art. #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration

Hi, #kidlit community! I missed the last #kidlitartpostcard day, so I’m sharing one of my favorites in the meantime. I’m an author/illustrator in the PNW. Most of my art is on IG, but I’m going to start posting more here, and I’d love to connect with more of the kidlit community on this platform :)

Shoutout to @dansantat.bsky.social and A First Time for Everything…my 11 year old (reluctant reader) read it, loved it, and shared it with his 12 year old cousin, who read it, loved it, and made his mom read it too! The first book that my son has shared (on his own, even!) because it’s that good.
