I tell myself I don't write for the haters. I write for the kiddos for whom the book will mean so much... and this book of yours will be cherished!

training an AI system to not answer prompts asking what books it was trained on seems like they want to hide something, no?

Thank you so much for sharing - I'm excited for this book to head out into the world and inspire allyship. (And share some very cool history about how Eleanor Roosevelt was an ally, too!)

this is why independent publishers (especially mission-driven ones) are so important in the publishing ecosystem! Keep going - #kidlit readers (both queer and allies) need this representation!

this is also a great way to support authors (and publishers) whose work you love! Especially as most of us can't buy ALL the books we want to read... P.S. I'm always excited when a library has one of my books, because I imagine it can reach so many #kidlit readers!

kiddos do this a lot, and I remember I did it as a kid, but also because I got something new with each read (Frank Herbert's "Dune" 9 years in a row) #kidlit
