Very grateful to @matthewcwinner.bsky.social for this very thoughtful conversation about Jewish joy in this complex moment (among other things), and for just being a total mensch. He brings so much light to the world!

Forgive all my glowing, but I am having a very very shiny week in bookland. This love for The Book of Candles just came in from the @washingtonpost.com @harperkids.bsky.social @harperstacks.bsky.social

So very happy!

Hey, friends! My (very very occasional) newsletter is up, with dates for #hanukkah #bookstore events to celebrate "THE BOOK OF CANDLES: 8 Poems for Hanukkah."

Come say hi, do some holiday shopping at a wonderful indie bookshop, & maybe sign up for my newsletter!

This is massive, folks. Blue wins in statewide elections in GA are no small feat. Gives me a #shiverofhope. #election #elections

We did it! And some of these suburban ATL counties are shocking me!

Just a little reminder, as you head to the movies to see #JeremyAllenWhite play #Bruce, that it's never too early to teach your little ones about The Boss.

Baltimore, I'm home for the holidays!

Kick off the season at The Ivy Bookshop, with me & my friends, @dansantat.bsky.social and @ellenoh.bsky.social ! We'll sign books and goof and laugh.

Then, a few weeks later, come back and bring the kids for a banorah-making party and Hanukkah storytime!

Happy #nokings from Atlanta, where we do, in fact, recognize one King.

Here's a blast from the past! Many years ago, on her wonderful podcast, The Book of Life, Heidi Rabinowitz asked me about the Jewish nature of my books, and it changed my career.

I feel so grateful to have time capsules like this, that bring me back to earlier versions of myself.

Hey! You! Please help circulate this petition?

Our reading bowl in GA has (very selectively) eliminated titles from the list this year, despite the fact that they were on the state awards list.

Including, ironically, @samiraahmed.bsky.social's THIS BOOK WON'T BURN.

Sign/repost the petition?

I'm so excited! This is my first chance to talk about my spring book with LeUyen Pham, Shrinking Violet, which is full of gorgeous art (as you might expect).

I'm on a panel with a bunch of other wonderful creators at 3:55. Join us?
