Make room on your bookshelves for Louise Erdrich’s BIRCHBARK HOUSE series! It offers a critical counterpoint to Wilder’s books, which may find renewed interest with Netflix’s "Little House on the Prairie" reboot. #kidlit

Last night, I finally got a chance to read BLUE STARS: THE VICE PRINCIPAL PROBLEM a graphic novel by Cynthia Leitich Smith and Keekla Magoon, illustrated by Molly Murakami. Loved this story about two Muscogee cousins. One has military parents. Fun read!

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!

Anyone else noticing a HUGE influx of kidlit people to Bluesky recently? 🎉

To newcomers: Here's my Bluesky starter thread for kidlit/YA community, incl. links to resources & feeds to help you connect with others.

I'm approaching Bluesky differently from how I used xTwitter; read my post.

A Wichita girl writes a letter of gratitude to Bob, the family car. A funny tender homage to Bob's continued service -- from family road trips to library visits. A feel good book that's a wonderful conversation starter for any family. @kimrogerswriter.bsky.social
