MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS by @sabrinashahauthor.bsky.social & Manal Mirza is a lovely story about a young girl who wants to play the rabab as beautifully as her beloved grandfather does. A gorgeously written picture book with stunning, intricate illustrations! #kidlit #booksky

The world is burning but I'm in a meeting right now with a small group of passionately committed people at @barefootbooks.bsky.social talking about how we're going to double down -- QUADRUPLE DOWN -- on making diverse books and getting them into as many little hands as we possibly can.

When an actual middle grade kid (beta reader) says your MG horror is catchy, didn't want to stop reading, gets right into the action and wants to read more from the author 🥹🥹🥰

That's what it's all about isn't it? That kid reader
