Trying something different this summer to meet libraries where they’re at with budgets.
You’ll gather patrons in person with paper and pencils—I’ll run a comics workshop over Zoom. I’ll mail a physical drawing to you in advance so you can share it with patrons and let them see the art up close.
Love it! I utilize something very similar!
Beautiful Jane—how sad I am to say farewell, but how lucky I am to have called you friend and mentor. Jane Yolen left us with 450 published books, but perhaps her greatest legacy will be the love and support she shared with so many of us writers and illustrators in the children’s book community.
I don’t know how you’d even begin to do the math and count up all of the titles that exist because Jane was so generous with her time.
We are sooooo close to our fundraising goal. 🕺🏻💃🏻

Indianapolis! I’m here—hope to see you on Saturday at the Hamilton East Public Library in Noblesville.
(And say hi if you catch me at the Stand By Me Live event on Saturday night!)
Tag a librarian who might be interested! I’m hoping we get enough signups.
