Sitting in the Civics for All panel at NYCC. So inspiring what has been accomplished (5 years, 5 million comics given) and what is on the near horizon, in particular the "Know Your Rights" comic that is super exciting.

Awesome resource from #NYCC. These are comic books for Social Studies and Civics in tons of grade levels and units.

They were giving out free printed copies but they said all the comic books are free in their digital library for all. So check it out.

Getting stuck into my NYCC reading pile already.

I know what to expect with @henrybarajas.bsky.social’s stories, so no shock that it was a gripping and meaningful book, working perfectly with @ohhhaeee.bsky.social’s striking and unique artistic style. As for the colours, well Lee is a master!

And PLEASE be on the lookout for @alexsegura.bsky.social and @davidhahn.bsky.social's new Civics for All project - a KNOW YOUR RIGHTS comic for NYC public school kids!

Literally the most important announcement out of this year's NYCC, if you ask me. ❤️

Got to sign and do a panel with the amazing folks with the NYC DOE'S Civics for All Comics imprint! They are truly world-changers - creating diverse, accessible, and amazing non-fiction comics for kids - and I love 'em!

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Happy to announce that after my Lillian Smith bio comes out in Sept 2026, a new 10 year anniversary edition of #MasterlessMen - edited down with a new introduction - will debut spring 2027 (@CambridgeUP).

It will also have a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize winner Steven Hahn!!!
