Inspired by this delightful graphic novel by @leilaboukarim.bsky.social, Violet and I made hummus just like Zips & Eeloo (but with fewer mishaps 🤣) What a fun read, and great idea for an activity for the kids. Now if only we could get our hands on some Zingerblitz... @stacysjensen.bsky.social

Just finished this delightful novel, What Fell from the Sky by @adriannacuevas.bsky.social! Fascinating history about a military exercise in the 1950s, and of course fun speculation about a lost little alien and her family. Highly recommend! #kidlit #writingcommunity #bookreview

This novel-in-verse spoke to me on so many levels. Many of my daughter's friends are of Indian descent, and this brought a whole world of understanding to us both. I will cherish this book and gift copies to our friends...with a box of tissues. @rajanilarocca.bsky.social @scbwi-sobreeze.bsky.social

Was delighted to meet Wendy Loggia, publisher at Delacorte and, incidentally, the editor of The Curse of the Dead Man's Diamond, whose praises I was just singing a few weeks ago. I swear I didn't plan this! #scbwiNY25 @christynewrites.bsky.social
