The Grace Lin exhibit at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art is delightful. How cool to see early sketches paired with final illustrations. And, as a Book Friends Forever podcast patron, I recognize that notebook cover!

Being a #PBParty finalist last year led to signing with my agent. This year I’m cheering on everyone who’s entering, and I’m cheering on @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social & the team as they do so much behind the scenes to offer this amazing opportunity for PB creators!

I’m excited to announce that I’m now represented by @janinele.bsky.social at JLLA!!! Grateful to so many who have been along on my writing journey thus far, but for now I’ll start with a shoutout to #PBParty for providing the opportunity for this connection!

Tomorrow is the day. The third Philly Bookstore Crawl.
📚 40+ bookstores
📝 Dozens of authors
🎁 Giveaways from publishers
💪🏽 A "Right to Read" protest party
And more. It's a labor of love that costs little, and gives a lot.
I hope you'll hit the streets, buy some books. www.phillybookstorecrawl.com
It’s getting chilly which means the end of the year is coming—which also means the end of my exhibit @carlemuseum.bsky.social ! Make your November (or early Dec) plans to see it NOW because it goes down as soon as 2026 arrives!
Catch the show while you can:
